Yo...
the statement was made by shoedog, not me. I just believe it.
Ask shoedog for the backup bro!
Nevertheless, when the evos control the Mountain Top, they just "say" you are no longer a scientist when one changes one's position from evo to ID. They disown them!!!!
If you shoot and kill your deserters, you can say there are none!
I would agree that the scientific community is engaged in a conspiracy against bad science. That's the only conspiracy there is here.
If IDers have any valid theory, they should try to write good papers and submit them to refereed journals, not local school boards. Peer review is an essential part of the scientific process.
ID is fine as a philosophy; but a scientific theory it is not; it has produced no testable consequences (and by its very nature seems that it never will be able to).
No biology teacher or scientist I've ever known (and I've known quite a few) considers any alternative theory of origins to be valid (for good reasons); people need to let these well-trained professionals do their jobs in the classroom and the lab without political intervention.
