The problem is though that scientists tend to just ignore things that don't jibe with their prejudices or are embarrasing to their prejudices.
That's an outright falsehood. All science is subject to peer review. All data is tested with skepticism, even if it would appear to support the scientist's original theses. This is why the evolution hoaxes have all been uncovered by scientists.
If creationists had such a high burden for their information, sites like "Answers in Genesis" would have run out of things to publish years ago.
They'd still have some funny cartoon strips.
