Robert J. Marks II Biography

Robert J. Marks II is one of the most popular and richest Researcher who was born on August 25, 1950 in West Virginia, United States.

In 2006 Marks hired William Dembski as a part time post-doctoral researcher; Dembski is an intelligent design proponent and former Baylor staff member at the heart of a previous intelligent design controversy at Baylor over the Michael Polanyi Center’s promotion of intelligent design, which had been resolved when Baylor disbanded that center in 2000. Dembski’s position in Marks’ lab was funded by a $30,000 gift from the Lifeworks Foundation; the gift went through the university’s development department and not its academic grant administration. Dembski’s role was stated in the gift documents. Marks said that he kept Dembksi’s presence quiet. By December 2006 Dembski’s university position had been brought to the university administration’s attention, and the university returned the unspent funds and terminated Dembski’s position.

Marks created a website to describe the work that he and Dembski were doing, which the website described as happening at the “Evolutionary Informatics Lab” at Baylor. In the summer of 2007 that website was called to the attention of the Baylor administration after Marks discussed that work on a podcast hosted by Casey Luskin of the Discovery Institute, and the university administration shut the website down. Marks challenged the removal. The site was reposted to a server outside of Baylor.
