Re: Hunter on Darwin and Gnosticism

The confusion may be explained by the following

Cornelius is a Fellow of ISCID http://www.iscid.org/fellows.php

There are references to Hunter being (or having been) a fellow of the
Discovery Instute

http://www.talkdesign.org/faqs/hunch/IDnotes.html

[16] This argument is made by Cornelius Hunter, a Fellow of the
Discovery Institute, in his book _Darwin's God_. Hunter actually goes
further than this, claiming that /all/ of the commonly cited evidence
/in favor/ of evolution is necessarily a rebuttal to the design
argument, and hence theological.
