“Well you have one thing right, since he is the director of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture he is not an honest scientist.”

It’s not like there are a lot of those anyway.
Scientists aren’t the paragons of integrity and virtue that evos like to portray them as.

“Scientists aren’t the paragons of integrity and virtue that evos like to portray them as.”
And preachers, reverends, and pastors are?
Just like Ray Comfort who failed to do the proper research prior to find out that the banana was DOMESTICATED BY MAN hundreds of years ago.
The yellow banana we get in stores WAS intelligently designed, BY MAN!!!
Banana’s before then (and the other species of bananas) don’t exhibit those qualities he pretends prove their is a god.
Why does no one bring this up?
And let’s not forget about Global-Warming-Gate!
Sure, not all scientists (like not all clergy or chef's or teachers, or doctors)are not paragons of virtue. If asked to name a dozen scientists you couldn't do it. This is because it is the science, not the scientist who is judged. The fact that you are banging out blather on a machine whose computing capacity exceeds the combined computing power that NASA and the Pentagon had 30 years ago, and the fact that your life expectancy is double that of your grandmother is because you CAN trust the work of scientists.
