Any crank can publish mass marketed books these days. Hell, take a look at your local chain bookstore's "astrology" and "new age" sections. And, just like creationists, they trumpet their degrees as if it gives some credibility to their nonsense.

Funny, no, that Denten, Behe, et al have yet to actually publish a refereed journal article pertaining to ID or creationism. Furthermore, none of those books contains a single repeatable experiment, only literary criticism of parts of a theory which they don't, or don't want to, understand.

That ain't the way science works, I'm afraid.

Please tell me how evolution is backed up by repeatable experiments.

Forgot something, and please give it serious consideration: Journals like Scientific American or Nature wouldn't ever publish a Behe article because ID "isn't science," but the way you can tell that it isn't science is that ID researchers haven't published in those same journals. Circular reasoning.
