Why don't creationists publish?

Recently, Dr. Wolf-Ekkehard Loennig, a JW working in a leading position at the Gene-Science-Department at the Max-Planck-Institute, has been banned from the Institute's WebSite for spreading his view about Evolution. He promotes the so called "Intelligent Design".

Max-Planck-Institute calles this Creationism in disguise. They said they ridiculed themselves by letting him keep on. Despite he had the support of his boss, Loennig's WebSite is now gone and subject to investigation.

I am not competent in discussing the topic on this level but I prefer a dialogue to a ban. It seems the Max-Planck-Institute has run short on arguments.

You find Loennig private WebSite here: http://www.we-loennig.de/

You find a discussion of the ban (in German) here: http://www.vdbiol.de/debatten/evolution/evolution.html

No wonder creationists have trouble publishing in secular media - they aren't even allowed to post their views on a website, even if they are eminently qualified scientists.

Creation has already been published in the first few chapters of Genesis. All other published works are designed to challenge the original work and so far have failed.

I don't care if they are "eminently qualified scientists." I do care whether their conclusions are correct.

And one does not have an inalienable right to post on someone else's website.

Refereed journals do not weigh qualifications, titles, et cetera--they merely evaluate the arguments and the evidence presented to support the arguments.

A Baptist friend of mine has a whole library of creationists books.

Should advocates of the "moon is green cheese" theory be given equal time on NASA websites?

Should advocates of the "stork brings babies" theory be given equal time on medical maternity websites?

Should flat earthers be given equal time on geology websites?

Race, evolutionary theory, in fact, reveals the Glory of God ... even more --- than creationism.

[f.Christian]

Self diety // worship (( flatliners )) ... brainwashing (( moon -- cheese -- storks )) --- is a form of atheism --- evolution !

[f.Christian]

Rubber god believers ... who reject plastic god believers --- whatta leap -- hop (( backwards ))!

Speak for yourself--and ONLY yourself! Leave the little voices out of it!

"I don't care if they are "eminently qualified scientists." I do care whether their conclusions are correct."

If the conclusions are the issue, then why ban rather than debate?

And any earth science textbook can back it up.

You have your heavens, your earth, your water, etc.

All in order. Just as Genesis clearly states.

I have trouble keeping up sometimes, but always find it a facinating read

The late Luther Sunderland of Apalachin, NY, published but I don't know the names of his books. He was a creationist and well known in his time.
