Naturally, after reading this, we were concerned for the safety of intelligent design researchers, who we've learned from reading the "Wedge Strategy" plan to launch a scientific research program someday... soon...
Accordingly, we made a quick check to acertain the health of signatories to the Discovery Institute's much vaunted list of scientists who doubt Darwin.
