I was trying to see if there was anything on Bryan Leonard the IDiot 
that supposedly wrote a pro ID PhD thesis but never seems to have 
completed his degree.

I found this Education PhD thesis on second Kansas 2005 when the Kansas 
creationists wanted to implement the obfuscation and denial switch scam 
(supposedly having nothing to do with intelligent design) but tried to 
use intelligent design in order to justify their stupidity.  The ID 
perps had already run the bait and switch on the Kansas creationist 
rubes, but they couldn't give up on supporting their religious beliefs 
and bent over for the switch scam that the ID  perps had given to them 
instead of any creation/ID science.  They held the infamous creationist 
kangaroo court as an attempt to justify the switch scam junk.

John Calvert (founder of the ID Network) was involved in the ID scam 
kangaroo court defense, and is quoted as claiming that anyone that 
believes in evolution is an atheist.  Sort of Glenn's definition of 
atheist being anyone that doesn't believe in the same god that they 
believe in.  Behe is an atheist to Calvert.  Behe testified at the 
Kangaroo court prepping for his Dover debacle, and is noted to not be an 
advocate of separating science and religion (page 111).  Bryan Leonard 
participated, and that participation got some people to start to 
question what kind of legitimate PhD these Leonard might have put 
together.  His participation in Kansas k2005 is not included in this 
thesis (The author may have been unable to interview him).  Leonard's 
thesis wasn't promising because Leonard was supposedly responsible for 
writing the Ohio model switch scam lesson plan, and his draft included 
some "errors" including using Wells' "no moths on tree trunk" lie that 
he obviously got out of Wells' ID scam book (Icons of Evolution).

As a side note it looks like Bryan Leonard never attempted to defend his 
thesis.  I couldn't find any evidence that he ever got his degree.  If 
it was at all legitimate the Discovery Institute should have published 
it.  They could have used it for their ID scam journal.
