Do you think they would want to have to start working for a living??
Are you trying to say that if ID became the predominant theory, it would be the end of science?
Because if not, why wouldn't the scientists just write new books ... get new grants ... teach the different theory. Heck, I'd think scientists would LOVE a new theory to come up, as there would be BIG MONEY in rewriting all the textbooks and selling them to all the schools.
This argument you are trying to push for a Vast Evolution Supporter Conspiracy is a non-starter.
Then again, many of the arguments against evolution are not based in science, and THAT is what bothers scientists. They are willing to look at and debate actual scientific arguments ... true scientists love being able to question common knowledge, but they want to do it within the framework of science, and not have to detemine if a theory is greedy, atheistic, immoral, or used to support skewed worldviews, as none of that effects the validity of the theory itself.
I'm sorry, but that is Vast International Conspiracy for Evolution, or VICE. It's just one of the many ops we run at Darwin Central.
I'm not against all science - I am against teaching scientific THEORIES in schools, when schools don't show both sides and allow students to decide for themselves.
Makes me wonder what the evolution people are afraid of.
What this is about, is that the ACLU types, and friends, don't even want a HINT of God.
