from 1,634 schaef21:"No one is preventing anybody from investigating...they are preventing people from publishing. I seem to recall you saying over and over again how something has to be published to be taken seriously."

Did you ever consider the example of Darwin himself? What scientific journal did he publish in? Who at the time peer-reviewed his work? Answers: none and no one. But his book was quickly bought-out and accepted by many scientists, and along with much debate, many peer-reviewed scientific articles have been published on the subject ever since.

No one is stopping Creationists / Intelligent Designers from publishing their own peer reviewed articles in their own publications. Indeed, I'd hazard to guess, there are whole library shelves full of Creationist - ID literature, with mass distributions to thousands of churches & religious schools. So you can't pretend your ideas are somehow being suppressed.

But if you want published in real scientific journals, then you'll have to meet the standards of those journals, and so far, you haven't done that, have you?

You're speaking out of both sides of your mouth there.

In one breath you're saying that they're not being suppressed and in the next you admit that that is exactly what scientists are doing.
