One of the most common criticisms of the movement and its leadership is that of [[Intellectual honesty|intellectual dishonesty]], in the form of misleading impressions created by the use of rhetoric, intentional [[ambiguity]], and misrepresented evidence.<ref name="Rosenhouse" |
One of the most common criticisms of the movement and its leadership is that of [[Intellectual honesty|intellectual dishonesty]], in the form of misleading impressions created by the use of rhetoric, intentional [[ambiguity]], and misrepresented evidence.<ref name="Rosenhouse" /> It is alleged that its goal is to lead an unwary public to reach certain conclusions, and that many have been deceived as a result. Critics of the movement, such as [[Eugenie Scott]], [[Robert T. Pennock]] and [[Barbara Forrest]], claim that leaders of the intelligent design movement, and the Discovery Institute in particular, knowingly misquote scientists and other experts, deceptively omit contextual text through [[ellipsis]], and make unsupported amplifications of relationships and credentials. Theologian and molecular biophysicist [[Alister McGrath]] has a number of criticisms of the Intelligent design movement, stating that "those who adopt this approach make Christianity deeply... vulnerable to scientific progress" and defining it as just another "[[God of the gaps|god-of-the-gaps]]" theory. He went on to criticize the movement on theological grounds as well, stating "It is not an approach I accept, either on scientific or theological grounds."<ref>[[#McGrath & McGrath 2007|McGrath & McGrath 2007]], p. 30</ref> |

Such statements commonly note the institutional affiliations of signatories for purposes of identification. But this statement strategically listed either the institution that granted a signatory's [[Doctor of Philosophy|PhD]] or the institutions with which the individual is presently affiliated. Thus the institutions listed for Raymond G. Bohlin, Fazale Rana, and Jonathan Wells, for example, were the [[University of Texas at Dallas|University of Texas]], [[Ohio University]], and the [[University of California, Berkeley]], respectively, where they earned their degrees, rather than their current affiliations: ''Probe Ministries'' for Bohlin, ''[[Reasons To Believe|Reasons to Believe]]'' ministry for Rana, and the Discovery Institute's ''Center for Science and Culture'' for Wells. Similarly confusing lists of local scientists were circulated during controversies over evolution education in [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[New Mexico]], [[Ohio]], and [[Texas]]. In another instance, the Discovery Institute frequently mentions the [[Nobel Prize]] in connection with [[Henry F. Schaefer, III]], a CSC Fellow, and chemist at the [[University of Georgia]]. Critics allege that Discovery Institute is inflating his reputation by constantly referring to him as a "five-time nominee for the Nobel Prize" because Nobel Prize nominations remain confidential for fifty years. |
