How, exactly? The book that was introduced in the schools came from the Discovery Institute, which Philip Johnson founded, and supports, as Van Rijn said just above. How is the brand of Intelligent Design that is promoted by the Discovery Institute different from that of Philip Johnson?

As Van Rijn said just now, and as we've all posted above, ID has nothing useful to add to science, philosophy or even theology. Do you have any evidence to the contrary? You haven't yet provided any, while we've provided plenty of evidence in support.
