Perhaps there are a lot more who are afraid to speak up because of the consequences for doing so. [...] Once the spell is broken, and the threat of force is removed, I have a feeling that many more like Dr. Turner will come out of the shadows.

Sadly, I think your fear is exaggerated. Fact is the EVILution Conspiracy has gone totally soft. Our death squads stand idle almost a third of the time, and our concentration camps in the Galapagos hardly contain enough prisoners any more (barely 250,000!!!) to keep the fossil factories running.

The key Geological projects of the EVILution Conspiracy are on the verge of collapse. Soon we will no longer be able to keep moving billions of barrels of oil into the reservoirs were old-earth geology "predicts" it should be found. When that happens the jig is up! And then the collapse of the real conspiracy -- the one for which the whole EVILution conspiracy, vast as it is, is only a cover -- will follow as night follows day.

==Sadly, I think your fear is exaggerated.

Don’t think the following EXAMPLES of ENFORCEMENT are lost on those who might otherwise consider speaking out:

Chemistry professor Nancy Bryson was released from Mississippi University for Women after she delivered a lecture to a group of honors students on scientific criticisms of Darwin’s theory.

Days before his dissertation defense, Ohio State University graduate student Bryan Leonard was accused by Darwinist professors of “unethical human-subject experimentation” because he lectured students on scientific criticisms of evolutionary theory.

Biologist Carolyn Crocker was banned from teaching evolution at George Mason University in Virginia simply because she mentioned Intelligent Design. The university later refused to renew her contract.

Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez, co-author of The Privileged Planet and an advocate of the scientific theory of intelligent design, lost his appeal to overturn the decision to deny him tenure at Iowa State University (ISU).

Oh, it's not all about the threat of the stick. The Church of Darwin also offers the faithful numerous carrots:

How many honorary doctorates does Judge Jones have now? William Dembski

Here is Judge John E. Jones III receiving an honorary doctorate just six months after rendering his decision in Kitzmiller v. Dover (check out Dickinson College’s reasons for conferring the degree). How many honorary doctorates has the Judge racked up since then? (I’m told four, but I have yet to confirm that.) Not bad for someone who went from head of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to towering intellect of American jurisprudence....
