\u201cThe 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\u2019s expired and gone to meet its Maker. It\u2019s a stiff, bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn\u2019t have nailed it to the perch it\u2019d be pushing up the daisies. It\u2019s rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-pretense!\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
