The Discovery Institute has long used postmodernist arguments to attack evolution

Evidence

Pennock tells a fascinating story about the founding of the Discovery Institute in Seattle, Washington, and its debt to “deep-pocket right-wing political backers.” He claims that to this day “the Discovery Institute is still flogging the postmodern horse.” When did this horse get created? He claims that this was due almost single-handedly to the influence of Johnson. It is not a subtle matter to see the influence of postmodernism in Johnson’s work. He embraces it explicitly. — Lee McIntyre, Post-Truth, 274
