The Discovery Institute insists that ID is not a religious concept, yet this individual claims religious discrimination for advocating ID. Will they ever give up the charade?

Good catch, TG! They can't have it both ways.
If ID is a scientific hypothesis, it's a fatally flawed one, with no scientific evidence to back it up. And in fact, it's not even a coherent hypothesis. Pushing bad science within a scientific institution like JPL is clearly against JPL's mission, and should be subject to discipline or dismissal.
(On reflection, it seems to me that if David Coppedge were an overt Creationist and was distracting fellow Federal employees with open religious nonsense on the job, the same sort of discipline would be not only justified, but required.) |

The design of David Coppedge's "Creation-Evolution Headlines" Web site is so ugly, so stunningly, horribly stupid that it makes me fear for sanity of the programming used by the Cassini mission.
JPL: Don't demote that moron, fire him! |

Wow, that is terrible design. Can't really hold that against him, but we can definitely hold the content against him =) |

I opened the site and now a viscous, green fluid smelling faintly of gangrene is leaking from my computer.
