Non-notable. The only sources for the information about him come from himself or his employers. Northwestgnome (talk) 13:18, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep There is a report about a debate he took part in from a reliable source. There is also a report on the same thing from a blog. That plus the books he wrote probably make him notable enough for WP. Borock (talk) 14:09, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: his role in founding the Center for Science and Culture gets solid mention in both The Creationists (the 'gold standard' in scholarship on Creationism) and in Creationism's Trojan Horse. He was recently selected to be one of the opponents providing "critical commentaries" to the latest edition of Larry Arnhart's Darwinian Conservatism. More peripherally, he has frequently acted as a spokesman for the Discovery Institute in its controversies over the years (as this Google News search demonstrates).
