Scientists at the Smithsonian have created an environment of fear, where well-published biologists who disagree with the establishment may face demotion and harassment if they voice their views. Politically-driven scientists who claim to work on behalf of intellectual freedom would do well to grant their opposition a right to be heard, and to attack arguments instead of persons.

The left's main desire is to destroy America's Judeo-Christian heritage.

I have seen that same thing right here in Free Republic. Just cast any shadow on Darwinism and feel their wrath.

Agree 100%.

And now we understand why those scientists that argued the world wasn't flat and the sun didn't revolve around the earth were persecuted.

This is the same tax payer institution who would NOT let Ollie North's "War Stories" film crew photograph the Enola Gay.

Why? The "rights" for commercial uses were sold to the Showtime Network.

"a distinguished evolutionary biologist with two doctorates in biology."
"Sternberg has two PhDs; the first from 1995 in molecular evolution from Florida International University, and a second in systems science from Binghamton University."[Google to wikipedia]
Neither of these are scientific powerhouses, the last time I checked. And the description of his career, as provided there, does not make him sound anything like "distinguished". Just another behe.

Good thing he didn't mention doubts about Gorebal warming. He'd have death threats to worry about, too.

"But scientists and their servants are losing credibility as it is being revealed that too many of them put ideology and politics above their reputed goals,”

Loosing? They lost it long ago, and are underlining that fact with this latest global warming nonsense.

You do understand the left. They are the most intolerant of all people, even as the waste good air blathering about how tolerant they are.

The Smithonian is the same bunch that denied that the Wright brothers had flown. Not just their first flight, but their more substantial flights. Then, they insisted on putting their guy (Langley) in the center of the gallery for years instead of the Wrights.

I wouldn't worry about what these guys do. After all, they thought it was the Enola Gay that started WW!! (Sarc.)

So? I hope any scientists at NASA who push Velikovsky's ideas are banished from there. It is easy to tell "bad science" from "good science".

[metmom]

It can also be seen in the stem cell research arena, where politicians and scientists furiously push policies involving the destruction of human embryos, garnering support by tagging those who oppose the procedure as “anti-science.”

The same mantra invoked around here for those who dare to disagree with the self-proclaimed elite. They fail to see that people are opposed to the abuse of science.

"The left's main desire is to destroy America's Judeo-Christian heritage."

Not surprising, considering that all leftism is of and from Satan.

Although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their senseless minds were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or reptiles. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen. Romans 1:21-25

If Intelligent Design is a "nut-job" of an idea, wouldn't open discussion show the defects, and it would fall by the wayside?

Is the Smithsonian afraid of a puny little discussion?

Sternberg quote:

"I loathe careerism and the herd mentality," he said. "I really think that objective truth can be discovered and that popular opinion and consensus thinking does more to obscure than to reveal."

This guy sounds like a Freeper.
