Where, one reader demanded, did I get the information that 10 percent of scientists accept intelligent design? I got it from a National Post (newspaper) article published two years ago, which said that 90 percent of the members of the National Academy of Science "consider themselves atheists." Since if you're not an atheist, you allow for the possibility of a Mind or Intelligence behind nature, this puts 10 percent in the I.D. camp.
This is not an honest means by which to derive such a statistic. Not being an atheist does not imply believing in the non-scientific assertion called "Intelligent Design", which makes specific (and untestable) claims. Deriving such a statistic through very obviously specious means leads me to question the author's honesty and rationality.
