metacog: "The Scientific Establishment's peer review is like the Medieval Church College of Cardinals. Heretics are not listened to and apostates are excommunicated."

ThinkPlease: "If that were the case, do you think any ID paper would have been published.(?) Methinks you are overstating just a tad."

The overwhelmingly majority view remains that no peer-reviewd ID paper has been published. Just ask around. It's pretty much ex cathedra.

That's because no one wants to touch the question of who's the designer. If it's God, this is just Creationism. If it's not God, then who?

If ID is going to go anywhere as a serious body of knowledge, it has to get past this hurdle. Then it has to define "complexity" as something more than "I know it when I see it". And it needs to provide more evidence than "biologists don't know something".

No peer review papers have ever been published on the life cycles of pixies, fairies, mermaids and unicorns. I guess that means that the scientific establishment has closed its mind to the truth about pixies, fairies, mermaids and unicorns.
