Are most Discovery Institute fellows evangelical Christians?

O'Leary

Recently, some commenters at one of my home blogs, the Post-Darwinist, have urged me to address the question of whether it is true that most Discovery Institute fellows are evangelical Christians.

I suppose so, except for the ones who are Catholics, agnostics, or Moonies or something.

Go here for reasons why the accusation is basically garbage and - way more important to you - the early beginnings of a list of reasons not to believe Darwinism.

Yes. It’s also true that most National Academy of Sciences members are atheists.

People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Incidentally, “moonies” is usually considered a derogatory term for Unificationists. It’s more widely used, now, even by members, but I’ve come to the understanding (when I’ve used it myself in the distant past) that they don’t like it.

Is this not just the genetic fallacy over again?

many aren’t just atheists but misotheists. Religion really bothers them which is why some of them have to bash Mother Theresa.
