No peer reviewed articles. Nothing scientific to teach. Alas it is true.

Tell that to Richard Sternberg (2 PhD's in theoretical biology and molecular evolution). He wasn't driven out of the Smithsonian on a rail for nothing.

...Our preliminary investigation indicates that retaliation [against Sternberg by his colleagues] came in many forms. It came in the form of attempts to change your working conditions ... . During the process you were personally investigated and your professional competence was attacked. Misinformation was disseminated throughout the SI [Smithsonian Institution] and to outside sources. The allegations against you were later determined to be false. It is also clear that a hostile work environment was created with the ultimate goal of forcing you out of the SI.

James McVay, legal adviser, The Office of Special Counsel, Findings, as quoted in National Review (August 16, 2005)

Cordially,

I'm confused. Did Sternberg publish peer reviewed articles on ID?

A pubmed search for "sternberg" + "intelligent design" yields a grand total of zero abstracts.

And why would anyone need two Ph.Ds in similar fields? Is that supposed to be impressive? Nobody who is serious about a career in science would do that.

He wasn't driven out of the Smithsonian on a rail at all.
