Creationists at so-called Discovery Institute faces fear in biologist and evangelical Collins if at NIH

The likely candidate for appointment by President Obama for Director of the NIH (National Institute of Health) is famed biologist and geneticist Francis Collins, an acknowledged evangelical Christian. Contrary to his religious faith, Collins supports and promotes evolution (and opposes intelligent design or creationism). Collins other oddity as a scientist is that he has strong religious beliefs where so many scientists are self declared atheists.

If you tale a quick look over at Discovery Institute's website it would not be at all evident that it's purposes are religious in nature. In fact, if you Google it the site comes up with the following description: "a nonpartisan public policy think tank conducting research on technology, science and culture, economics and foreign affairs." Further down in the Google search you find the organization's true purpose: "Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture is the nation's leading think-tank challenging various aspects of evolutionary theory..." Buried 1/2 way through the About Us section of the site I found the purpose of it's membership "....The point of view Discovery brings to its work includes a belief in God-given reason and the permanency of human nature..." i.e. to promote Intelligent Design under the guise of promotion of free thinking and elsewhere "...to provide people of all age groups the opportunity to learn by listening and by doing..."

Oh, by the way, does it surprise you that it's organized for tax purposes as "not for profit."
