As Ed reports here, the mask has fallen away from ID. Joel Borofsky - Dembski's "research" assistant - has admitted that the push for "balance" in Kansas is nothing more than an attempt to inject ID into schools:
It really is ID in disguise. The entire purpose behind all of this is to shift it into schools...at least that is the hope/fear among some science teachers in the area. The problem is, if you are not going to be dogmatic in Darwinism that means you inevitably have to point out a fault or at least an alternative to Darwinism. So far, the only plausible theory is ID.
BOOM! Thank you for playing.

As a perfect follow up to my earlier post about the IDers dishonest claim that the Kansas science standards have nothing to do with getting ID into public schools, take a look at this post at Dembski's place. Dembski's research assistant, Joel Borofsky, spills the beans completely in two comments…
It seems that Joel Borofsky, Dembski's research assistant, is feeling a bit of heat over his comments about the Kansas science standards being "ID in disguise". He felt the need to post a long message at UD saying that he speaks only for himself and not for the ID movement. We knew that, of course…
Lawrence VanDyke has left a comment below, which I would like to bring up here to address in more detail. Lawrence wrote:
I left out the "in support of ID" because I assumed that much was obvious in context. You make it sound like I was trying to make Leiter say ID proponents haven't published any…
Speaking of the intellectual collapse of ID, its other major blog, the Discovery Institute's “Evolution News and Views” also seems to have fallen on hard times. How else to explain the presence of this article, by Steve Laufmann?
Laufmann addresses the question, “Is Intelligent Design Science?”…
We need to set up a pool.... How long before Joel is consigned "to the scrap-heap of history", and forced to interact with Dembski's ex-butt-boy DaveScot? My guess is 30 days.
Things might just get "shifty" in Kentucky and Ohio. The Creation Museum is being built in Petersburg, KY outside of Cincinnati. You can read about it here. One of the slated attractions is a 40 foot (27 cubit) tall recreation of Noah's Ark.
