It *is* garbage, and you sort of "forgot" to mention the vast numbers (an overwhelming majority) of very *non*illiterate scientists who agree on that point.

Why would you want to be grossly dishonest like that?

At least you didn't call me a liar.

I say the majority of the scientists out there think ID should get a fair shake, but are afraid to admit it to their peers due to the fact that the institutions they work for are usually run by atheists. It's all about job security. So there, genius.

Wow. That's amazing. Like most bizarre tinfoil conspiracy theories, it's nice and neat and pat (the lack of evidence for it is somhow characterized as evidence itself).

The problem is that it's absurd on its face. Surely any scientist who would be able to provide the smallest evidence to substantiate ID would be rewarded with instant fame, if not a much better job offer.

I'm sorry, pal, but the "worldwide atheist scientist conspiracy" can't take credit for this one. ID falls flat all on its own.
