“The Discovery Institute seems to have given up on the pretense that intelligent design is a scientific enterprise. As in, this pretense is no more. It has ceased to be. It’s expired and gone to meet its Maker. It’s a stiff, bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn’t have nailed it to the perch it’d be pushing up the daisies. It’s rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-pretense!”

echoing the famous Monty Python Dead Parrot sketch.
