I've just got to ask. Without knowing the source (it had absolutely nothing to do with evolution or ID tho'), do you agree or disagree with the following finding:

"The Task Force finds that the most reliable information is produced by recognized, respected professional organizations which adhere to a strict standard of objective, peer-reviewed scientific study and which represent the consensus of the scientific community."

"The Task Force finds that the most reliable information is produced by recognized, respected professional organizations which adhere to a strict standard of objective, peer-reviewed scientific study and which represent the consensus of the scientific community."

Basically, there's not enough information to answer the question other than to say sometimes the answer is agree, and sometimes it is disagree, depending on which professional organization we are talking about.

For example, the ACM (a computer scientist organization) tends to render pretty reliable information as it relates to all subjects of computer science including computability, computational capability, algorithm analysis, discrete math, quantum computing, etc ad nauseam.

OTOH, we have the American Bar Association for lawyers. If the state of thought on Constitutional law in this country is any indicator, well I think you get the point.
