Casey Luskin is a lawyer and one of the primary shills for the intelligent design advocacy group the Discovery Institute. When he spe^aks, he tends to go ^{up at the end} of every sen^tence, like it was a quest^ion. Okay, so it's really, really difficult to convey this in text, just see it for yourself.

The irony of putting a lawyer at the head of the largest ID "research" organization is lost on most of its followers.

Mr Luskin obtained a Bachelor of Science and a Masters Degree in Earth Sciences from the University of California, San Diego. He worked for the Scripps Institute for Oceanography (1997-2002) doing geological survey work.

Luskin is particularly famous for his claims that published articles on evolution contain "veiled threats" against creationism and that Nature has launched a propaganda war on creationism. Of course, science itself is a threat to creationism, but Luskin appears to reject the distinction between scientific evidence and polemics, and between criticism of creationism and personal attacks.
