This may have been asked or discussed before: does anyone have anything on the ‘Discovery Institute’ a so-called non-partisan research organisation which refutes the facts of evolution? e.g.'Darwinism was itself a major agent of dispelling sympathetic sentiments. Evolutionary thinking inspired modern scientific racism. For Darwin, evolution explained the phenomenon – so he saw it – of racial inferiority. Some races were farther up the evolutionary tree than others. Thus, in his view, Africans were just a step above gorillas.’ It supports Behe’s stuff etc, but who funds it and is behind it? see link:
call me intensely dof, but i cant seem to find any refernce to a company or something sinister, and since i dont know who on earth the fellows are, they dont mean much to me?
enlighten please? 
You can start here, with a bit more here. The Internet actually has plenty on it, for example this. It is about as scientific as an astrology symposium and as impartial in regard to evidence as a group of Imams are concerning a pig in a mosque.

CSC Fellows
William Lane Craig - a religion nut. he seems to be trying to use the bible to prove intelligent design and get the atheist to see the meaning of it all.
William Dembski - The society provides a forum for formulating, testing, and disseminating research on complex systems through critique, peer review, and publication. Its aim is to pursue the theoretical development, empirical application, and philosophical implications of information- and design-theoretic concepts for complex systems. (can i have that in english please?)
Guillermo Gonzalez - wrote a book, and on the website’s QandA section, there is this pearl: The conditions that make a planet habitable also make its inhabitants more likely to see solar eclipses.
huh?
Richard Weikart - this champion wrote a book saying that darwinist ideas caused the holocaust. you are the weakest link, koebaai.
Nancy R. Pearcey - 'In Total Truth, Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the public/private split, explaining how it hamstrings our efforts at both personal and cultural renewal. Ultimately it reflects a division in the concept of truth itself, which functions as a gatekeeper, ruling Christian principles out of bounds in the public arena. ’
i like this lady, might just go and get her book. for ammo against the woos.
after a brief squiz thru the site, i can see they basically base their ideas on intelligent design.
riiiight.
so it’s science, to make them come up with new ways to explain biblical stories with a test-tube and diagram.
and culture, coz god still made it all.
so instead of bending the bible to convince you the earth is flat, they are now trying to convince you that all the evolutionary flaws evident to science now, was part of the plan all along.
thanks I found also on Wiki that they have a sinister agenda: see Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, and The Discovery Institute’s main thrust has been to promote intelligent design politically to the public, education officials and public policymakers, and to portray evolution as a “theory in crisis” and advocating teachers to “Teach the Controversy” through the CSC. It has employed a number of specific political strategies and tactics in the furtherance of its goals. These range from attempts at the state level to undermine or remove altogether the presence of evolutionary theory from the public school classroom, to having the federal government mandate the teaching of intelligent design, to ‘stacking’ municipal, county and state school boards with ID proponents. The Discovery Institute has been a significant player in many of these cases, through the CSC providing a range of support from material assistance to federal, state and regional elected representatives in the drafting of bills to supporting and advising individual parents confronting their school boards.
it’s the church disguised as science.
its bad enough to fight the bible bashers, now they are tricking the feeble mind with this shit.
Creationism and Intelligent design packaged differently.
