He is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute. Whats the intelligent design you e talking about?
A. Well, I’m talking about the type that is interested in playing by the rules of science in the sense of trying to come up with a research program with testable hypotheses, that, in a sense, is competing in the scientific space, primarily, regardless of what the religious motivations may be, but not taking the religious motivation itself somehow as evidence, as it were, for the scientific validity of the statements. Q. So, in fact, this would not be acceptable to you as — A. Not to me, at least in terms of these various disciplines that are being included here. Some of these would not, for me, count as appropriately scientific. Q. And I know you talked about the motivations of the proponents didn’t necessarily invalidate a theory so long as it was testable otherwise. A. That’s correct.
