It's All About Science
Hey, we all know intelligent design is strictly science. After all, the Discovery Institute told us so. So why is Discovery sponsoring an event on the Dan Brown's best selling novel, the Da Vinci Code, featuring Mark Shea, co-author with Ted Sri of The Da Vinci Deception: 100 Questions About the Facts and Fiction of The Da Vinci Code?
In an interview, Shea says that "tens of millions of people have read The Da Vinci Code and many have had their faith in Christ and the Catholic Church shaken. This blasphemous book has become a major cultural phenomenon, largely by attacking the very person and mission of Jesus Christ. It must be addressed."
We liked Brown's novel. It's a good read if you don't take it too seriously, but what's any of this got to do with science?
