By the way, I haven’t forgotten that I entered this discussion by suggesting an objective method for deciding whether Ben Stein’s assertion of pervasive career threats is actually true.

And I haven't forgotten that I told you to "have at it" if you desired that information. It is not my duty to fulfill your interests or argue your points.

For someone who feels no obligation to answer my point, you certainly have been posting to me a lot. Did you think you could divert attention from my suggestion by changing the subject?

But if you aren’t inclined to answer, I will address my query to lurkers.

Ben Stein, in his Newsweek interview, said that people had been fired for supporting ID, and that many people refused to be interviewed for fear of having their careers ruined.

And yet hundreds of PhD level people have signed the Discovery Institute statement which questions the adequacy of mainstream evolution. Wouldn’t it be reasonable to look at this rather large sample of ID supporters, and see if they have been fired in unusual numbers? Or had scientific papers rejected simply because of their beliefs?
