Spotted this over at IIDB. Looks like there might actually be some actual research into ID going on, as reported by New Scientist.
Now the real question is to see if they can actually produce anything relevant and get it published in peer-reviewed journals.
"We are the first ones doing what we might call lab science in intelligent design," says George Weber, the only one of Biologic's four directors who would speak openly with me. "The objective is to challenge the scientific community on naturalism."
"We need all the input we can get in the sciences," Weber told me. "What we are doing is necessary to move ID along."
Ronald Numbers, a historian at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who has studied creationism, views it in a different light. The lab's existence will help sustain support within the anti-evolution community, he says. "It will be good for the troops if leaders in the ID movement can claim: 'We're not just talking theory. We have labs, we have real scientists working on this.'"
