I don't know about biology. Nor ID. But Kurt Wise is a full blown young earth creationist. He got his Ph.D in paleontology at Harvard under Gould. He is fairly well known. Richard Dawkins has a few ad hominems for him out on the web somewhere.

1 – Number of scientists in the Department of Biology at Lehigh University who endorse intelligent design. That person is Dr. Michael Behe. The rest of the department has publicly declared on the official departmental web site that intelligent design is not science.
0 – Total number of scientific papers that are published in peer-reviewed professional scientific journals, report an original scientific experiment, and interpret the results as support for Intelligent Design, as of June 2006.

You can find exceptions to every rule. The question to ask is about "Peer reviewed articles" in science publications. There are literately about a hundred publications and they haven't managed to get into one because the science behind it is so bad.
Take a few seconds to email the guys on the list the Christians post. It is easy to get University researchers addresses. You usually find their position isn't really pro ID at all. If they really were, they would post links to things written by them, not just a long list of names.

No... but it's doctors that do things like perscribe estrogen to aging women which caused a spike in breast cancer until a couple of years ago. There's your science and reasoning at work!
Is the thought here that anybody with mild intelligence can't have a college degree and believe in God? Holy crap! And atheists think that Christians are uppity and smug. That is the most biggoted thing I've ever heard toward Christians.

Unfortunately - one of the top people cited as supporting intelligent design has a degree from Harvard. Yeah, Wise. That's who I was thinking about.

For Thumb - you say some of your church members have degrees, but do you know they believe in ID?
Jimbo - and the religious are the ones continuing to say the earth is 6000 years old and who tell their members to refuse blood transfusions. That's religion for ya.
At least scientists learn from observations.
