In your post 653, you are trying to make one side look bad.
I could go down your list and give the OTHER SIDE for each person, but yet you would come up with something so as not to believe that the ID scientists were persecuted.
Here’s the trailer for the movie, Expelled:

The trailer shows scientists who were “expelled” for being independent thinkers.
I’ve looked up some of those “expelled” people. I haven’t seen a valid case yet. I have seen other scientists who didn’t want to be associated with pseudo-science, but I haven’t seen anything relating to persecution. I have seen some lying to try to build a false case of persecution.
