From Underwhelming Evidence (which btw is showing very little activity):

I'm a software engineer with specialties in artificial intelligence and GNC (guidance, navigation, and control) software. I work for an aerospace research and development firm. I used to be a Dawkins-style militant atheist and devout Darwinist, but then I began to think and critically analyze what I believed, and figured out that I was dead wrong about almost everything that ultimately matters.

The intelligent-design movement is very exciting, and it is going to rock the entrenched establishment, which has demonstrated its desperation by resorting to attempts to suppress dissent by any means available. Of course, this won't work in the long run, because reality always has a way of making itself evident in the end.

The reality is that the universe and living systems were designed, and the evidence for this is mounting almost daily within a wide variety of scientific disciplines.

Welcome to the most exciting scientific revolution of the last century!



An engineer with no scientific training sees a political movement composed of engineers, laymen, lawyers, philosophers, which is pretending to do science, has spent $20,000,000 over 15 years and hasn't a single hypothesis, experiment, theory, or peer-reviewed paper to show for it, and which nevertheless tried to insert itself into science classes, and has lost every legal battle that resulted, and gotten school boards thrown out by angry voters, and whose arguments have been ripped apart by dozens of actual, real scientists in the relevant fields, and what's this guy's response? I'm so exited! Victory will be ours!

This movement will never stop providing me with comedy.

You notice that "this guy" is, in fact, Gil Dodgen, of "to make a computer  simulation of an earthquake you need to shake the monitor a lot" fame.  God on a stick, I had no idea that he was actually a "software engineer."
