David Berlinski (born 1942) is an American mathematician[1] and philosopher. He has written books about mathematics and the history of science as well as fiction. An opponent of evolution, he is a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, an organization which promotes the pseudoscientic idea of intelligent design. Berlinski professes to be a skeptic about evolution, but he disavows belief in intelligent design.[2][3]
