I mentioned that the Discovery Institute was in Iowa yesterday, accusing Iowa State University (and specifically, professors in the Department of Physics and Astronomy) of conspiring against assistant professor Guillermo Gonzalez, an intelligent design advocate and fellow of the Discovery Institute.

Yet another example of how ID is a science killer, in more ways than one. We needen't cry for Gonzalez though, I'm sure he'll make a pretty penny on the 'Darwinists are persecuting me' circuit.
Boy, they sure know how to ruin a person's career!
