| | Discovery Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Patricia O’Connell Killen, a religion professor at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma whose work centers on the regional religious identity of the Pacific Northwest, recently wrote that "religiously inspired think tanks such as the conservative evangelical Discovery Institute" are part of the "religious landscape" of that area. | | | "It evolved from a policy institute that had a religious focus to an organization whose primary mission is Christian conservatism," he has said. | | | This was used to fund the institutes's Center for Science and Culture, then called the Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture, which went on to form the motive force behind the intelligent design movement. |
