The domain was registered in February, 2005.

So, it's been like that, or worse (nothing) for three years.

On second thought, nothing might be better, at least more accurate, than what they have now.

Indeed. "Coming soon" suggests they will actually have something to add in the near future, when everyone knows they don't.

Nobody has been getting too close to them and swapping bodily fluids have they?  Sal?  Sal?

Maybe this is an example of them "seeing into the future" that Behe spoke of while on the stand.

I drove by the address for the BI yesterday evening. I couldn't find the place, but it was late and I didn't really want to be prowling around. Hopefully this Saturday I'll be able to check it out during the day, and maybe come back with pictures.

C'mon now, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that webpage.

As all of us in the Evil Atheist Conspiracy® know, HTML is short for HyperText Materialist Language.  And when the language was created the <GODDIDIT> tag was deprecated.

Without the ability to embed <GODDIDIT> after the <HTML> tag in a webpage it forces them to deny the very existence of G*d.  And because the Evil Atheist Conspiracy® controls the intarwebz through the W3C (another of the far reaching tentacles of the EAC®) then Godly Wingnut Pseudoscientists cannot create pages for the web.

Or they haven't accomplished shite and can't be bothered, just like their journal.

Steve is just itchin’ for something to happen with that journal – you know, if we put our brains together we could lead these people to cough up some swell swill. The ID challenge was fun to watch (although beyond me), but to throw out a designed bone for them to carry without knowing its *ahem* true origin would really be a laugh and a half. And the more widely publicized the better. I think the “cancer research” angle is the way to go.

I may be interpreting this wrong, but it looks to me as if they have put the Biologic Institute lab coats and goggles to good use.  Their clothes stay dry, and the car-wash soap stays out of their eyes.

I just find it hilarious that these losers spend millions of dollars, claim to have the public support of hundreds of scientists, have their own journal where the 'Darwinists' can't censor them, despite all this, still can't publish any actual research, and their followers are too dumb to figure out what that means.

I went over to the Biologic Institute today to do a bit of scouting. I had generally assumed it would be office-only, conceivably only a mailbox, but a possibility of containing a small lab. Anyway, it's part of a 3 story office building, and occupies part of the bottom floor. There appeared to be one door in, with a sign that said Discovery Institute Center for Science and Culture: Biologic Institute. I didn't know that the Biologic Institute was officially part of the DI.

Unfortunately, all the blinds were closed on the outside windows. This was only the case for the BI, the rest of the office building had blinds open. One could speculate that they close the blinds to keep people like me from verifying that there is no lab space, but there are plenty of other reasons to do so. So the contents of the BI remain a mystery to me.

Conclusion: There is certainly enough space in the office building for a lab. No one was working there on the weekend, so they probably don't have a lot of employees.

Odd.  You'd think all the experiments would be under 24/7 surveillance so they could be there to see the Intelligent Finger poking around.

Does God show up on surveillance video?
