So basically you, who have little or no grounding in the biological sciences know more about the subject than folks actually working in the field (the peers reviewing the work). Why haven't you submitted for your Nobel Prize yet?

There is becoming enough momentum to shed the shackles the Education Establishment has placed on the professional viability of Creation Scientists.

Here is just one small think tank amongst many that are surfacing daily.

Their views are propagated by capitalism, whereas yours are propagated by socialistic methods. We may have to come up with a prize that isn't dictated by the "United Nations of Ideas" like the Nobel Prize has become.

Your "one small think tank" is the Institute for Creation Research, which is not all that small. And, as for "surfacing daily," ICR has been around since at least the 70s.

I'll start giving creationism/ID serious consideration when they start publishing in peer-reviewed journals, or at least doing actual research other than skimming through other researchers' works looking for quotes to take out of context.

And don't give me that claptrap about funding for research. That freeloading bastard, Matthew Lesko, says he can get you thousands of dollars of government money for just about anything.

We know, however, why creation "scientists" don't do research: Who are the Creation "Scientists?"

Oh look! The usual suspects headed by Duane Gish. Why am I not surprised by your mild dishonesty here? Since these think-tanks are surfacing "daily" perhaps you can supply details of 10 that have appeared in the last 3 months and don't include the same endlessly recycled list of people. (ie 10% of your claimed rate)

Their views are propagated over the the internet (a handy vehicle for the propagation of frauds), and the only capitalism involved is the sale of bogus tracts and books. As for the alternative prize, at least one has already been suggested:

You have confused the triumph of a scientific concept in the marketplace with the number of suckers who buy the flotsam spun off by a scam. An accurate measure of the marketplace success of an idea is its usefulness to legitimate business.

Care to list the creation science "ideas" that are actually being used in, say, the oil & gas, drug manufacturing, agricultural, animal husbandry, and medical fields? I'd be interested.
