Editing Intelligent design movement (section)

=== The Web ===

Much of the actual debate over intelligent design between intelligent design proponents and members of the scientific community has taken place on the [[World Wide Web|Web]], primarily blogs and message boards, instead of the scientific journals and symposia where traditionally much science is discussed and settled. In promoting intelligent design the actions of its proponents have been more like a political pressure group than like researchers entering an academic debate as described by movement critic [[Taner Edis]].<ref>[[#Young & Edis 2004|Young & Edis 2004]]</ref> The movement lacks any verifiable scientific research program and concomitant debates in academic circles.<ref name="Forrest_2001" />

The Web continues to play a central role in the Discovery Institute's strategy of promotion of intelligent design and it adjunct campaigns. On September 6, 2006, on the Center's ''Evolution News & Views'' blog, Discovery Institute staffer Casey Luskin published a post entitled "Putting Wikipedia On Notice About Their Biased Anti-ID Intelligent Design Entries." In the post, Luskin reprinted a letter from a reader complaining that Wikipedia's coverage of ID to be "one sided" and that pro-intelligent design editors were censored and attacked. Along with the letter, Luskin published a Wikipedia email address for general information and urged readers "to contact Wikipedia to express your feelings about the biased nature of the entries on intelligent design."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.evolutionnews.org/2006/09/wikipedia_youre_on_notice002574.html |title=Putting Wikipedia On Notice About Their Biased Anti-ID Intelligent Design Entries |last=Luskin |first=Casey |date=September 6, 2006 |website=Evolution News & Views |publisher=Discovery Institute |location=Seattle, WA |access-date=2014-06-04}}</ref>
