Forrest and Gross have done the country a valuable service by documenting the political and ideological foundations of the intelligent design movement. Anyone who still believes that movement is primarily, or even partly, a scientific endeavour need only search PNAS, BIOMED, BIOSIS, and the like for published research on intelligent design creationism in biology. There is none to be found. The ID movement's "scientists" publish no ID science.What, then, has all the fuss in Kansas, Ohio, Texas, New Mexico, West Virginia, and so on been about? Not science, for sure. Forrest and Gross describe with rich documentation just what is driving the intelligent design movement in spite of its scientific sterility.
