This current situation is a much more dire one for Darwinists and they are mounting a serious attack to censor scientists and stifle science.

And the Disinformation Institute is battling for science! For free expression in science and against censorship!

Ha! That'll be a first. They are pushing creation "science" (whoops, intelligent design) and both are dishonest attempts to sneak religious belief into science classes and fool the gullible. Both are the antithesis of science.

If they are so committed to science, why are they hiring lawyers and PR flacks? What is their research budget? Where are their laboratories? What peer-reviewed articles have they submitted? What a joke!

The Disinformation Institute's cover was blown by the Wedge Strategy when that was leaked. But they have been following it "faithfully" ever since, all the while disavowing it.

(Let me know when they make a "discovery" other than that which P.T. Barnum is widely credited with--but David Hannum actually said.)

Yep, Provide the evidence for ID they say!

You have to submit to “mainstream” journals in order for the scientific community to take you seriously, they say!

Yet, at every freaking turn, they shut down anything that provides even an inkling of possibility to address their demands…

You have to admit it's going to be pretty hard to have a research budget if schools are going to reject grants and return the money whenever they try to do research. And they aren't going to have any laboratories if schools are going to ban people from working because of "embarrassment" (how long did it take CU to get rid of the REAL embarrassment which was that fraud who stole people's paintings and passed them off as his own, Ward Churchill?).

And it's going to be hard to write a "peer-reviewed" article if schools aren't going to allow the research, aren't going to allow trained qualified people to work on or write anything, and the papers are blackballed so that nobody competent is ALLOWED to review them under penalty of expulsion from their field of study.

I guess they have purged enough of the social sciences, now they are coming for the Engineers. That d*mn math stuff just is too much, I guess.

This is the wrong thing to do. Science has always prided itself on open debate. it has always been its greatest strenght. It is not scientific debate which I.D. has to be fearful of, but scientific censorship. As Max Planck stated, "A new scientific truth does not triumphy by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather its opponents eventually die off, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.."

It will take several generations for a new intellectual rigor is restored. Let the debate be open, free, honest, and without vice or vitriole.
