The thing that will not die...

Via Preposterous Universe, further evidence that the Intelligent Design "debate" just won't go away and that part of the problem is an event like this one put on by the Heritage Foundation:

Intelligent Design and the Mysteries of Life

In the ongoing exploration of what DNA reveals about the origin of life, some anti-establishment scientists are abandoning naturalistic explanations for the origin of genetic information and looking to theories of design for answers. In almost every scientific discipline there is newly found evidence that supports the theory of intelligent design. A growing number of scientists around the world no longer believe that natural selection or chemistry, alone, can explain the origins of life. Instead, they think that the microscopic world of the cell provides evidence of purpose and design in nature – a theory based upon compelling biochemical evidence. Join us as Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, a key design theorist and philosopher of science, explains this powerful and controversial concept on the mysteries of life.

To put it bluntly: are you fucking kidding me?! "In almost every scientific discipline there is newly found evidence that supports the theory of intelligent design"?!
