I did not imply to argue that because that the DI should support
Colling because of a link to the DI, but rather because the DI claims
to be standing up to those whose viewpoints are being surpressed by
science, especially when it comes to evolutionary sciences. However,
the DI seems to be strangely one sided in this debate. Or perhaps I
have too high expectations of this institution. Ok, a bit tongue in
cheek... We all know this is not really about science.
I appreciate your feedback and on PT I have extended an invitation to
Dr Colling to respond since he inquired as to interests to hear the
story from his point of view.
