I guess if creationists actually started turning out real science, they could qualify for public grants, too. Remember, not all research is carried out on the public dime; a lot of it is privately funded.

Let us remember that the rapidly-growing biotech industry, which is profit-oriented and thus non-ideological, employs thousands of scientists, and they don't waste their time or their shareholders' money doing "creation science" (if they did, the creationist websites would surely mention it).

So-called creation science has produced nothing of value in the medical, agricultural, or any other fields. I know, I know ... there have been scientists who were creationists. Before Darwin, just about everyone was a creationist. I'm speaking specifically of "creation science." It's a scientifically barren doctrine.

No kidding. An article in the latest Scientific American talks about suspended animation, and how researchers are exploring lines of research based upon the evolutionary history of life on Earth.
