The Discovery Institute is a dangerous organization to be associated with; not necessarily physically dangerous, but academic careers can spiral to oblivion when members of this Seattle-based Intelligent Design (read: “science needs religion!”) group make statements like the one they did today. This article is title “PBS: Publishing Bad Science” and discusses (with evidence that is virtually only from Intelligent Design sources) how and why PBS is pushing only pro-Darwinian theories on its viewers and how this, in their view, is detrimental. They make note of the how “delirious” it is that the global community celebrated the achievements of Charles Darwin and his impact on the paradigm shift in scientific thinking that lead to the Theory of Evolution this past year.
Read the link above for yourself. See just how mud-slingingly stupid the Discovery Institute is in their post and count how many things you can find wrong in it. I have one right here:
But biologists have now generated all possible developmental mutations in fruit flies, and the evidence shows that there are only three possible outcomes: a normal fruit fly, a defective fruit fly, or a dead fruit fly. Not even a new species of fruit fly, much less a horse fly or a horse.
Excuse me? Since when have biologists induced mutations in each of the 165 million different bases of the Drosophila genome? How about all varieties of combinations of these mutations? Insertions? Deletions? The scientific community is FAR from having generated all possible developmental mutations in fruit flies and to say otherwise is a downright lie. I would normally say that it’s surprising for an organization trying to counter the scientific community to make a mistake as big, yet simple, as this, but then again the Discovery Institute tends to do a lot of things wrong.
What do you think? Are their thoughts founded? How many incorrect statements can you find?

Well, I don’t know about you, but I for one am quite surprised they haven’t bred flies into horses. That’s not creationist hyperbole at all.
I wonder how many members of the DI could give a brief impromptu lecture on the complexity of defining “species”… and how many instead subscribe to baraminology.
Stands back from the keyboard in amamzeent! Thanks!
