Origins.org
From EvoWiki
Origins.org [1] is a website used to promote intelligent design and often the writings of Phil Johnson. The website attempts to defuse Young Earth Creationism since this is only a religion idea and in promoting ID as "science" they need to distance themselves from YEC, yet at the same time with wink-and-nod point out they share the same goals: "However, all of these scholars recognize that the first priority is to concentrate on breaking the domination over science held by naturalistic philosophy--the view that materialism/atheism is the only rational perspective.". So the real goal is that change in the definition of science to allow the supernatural and thus ID. There is some connection with Probe Ministries [2]. They also appear to host something called Mere Creation Homepage [3] which seems to be an organizing conference for the IDers (photos of the usual suspects [4], althought this mostly seems old stuff, probably superceded by Discovery Institute.
It appears that origins.org is hosted by Leadership U. is a project of Christian Leadership Ministries [5], part of Campus Crusade for Christ, International. Other sites hosted by Leadership U are: Probe Ministries, Reasons to Believe, Philip Johnson pages (possibly defunct), Robert Koons, William Dembski (possibly defunct), and numerous sites on homosexuality (anti). A real grabbag of the religious right's causes and there's origins.org, supposedly all about science, sitting prominently.
