In academia there is a 95% evolutionist to 5% ID split, where as outside academia, working scientists have a 60% evolutionist to 40% ID split. What we are witnessing is an uprising of the 40% and they are bringing practical science to the table that is forcing the issue.

My thought is that of the 60% working scientists that rely on the bottom line for success, will begin an exodus toward ID, forcing a flip to 60% ID - 40% evolutionists.

...

Deductive logic on my part having read so many polls like these:

This looks like the "imminent demise of Darwinism" that has been predicted for the last 150 years.

You'll have to explain your "deductive logic" to me to justify how you derived your conclusions from those links. I missed the bit in those 4 links that would allow anyone to realise that "working scientists" have a sharply different view from "academic scientists".

I have a sharp suspicion that your comments are about as well founded as the nonsense on your profile page.

In post #89:

The 6% of Bush voters that are evolutionists are not all scientists. So we can deduce that amongst the 94% of Bush voters that believe God created or guided the process -- ID -- we could conservatively say 70% of scientists that were Bush voters are ID proponents.

Even if 90% of the mostly tenured government scientists voting for Kerry were evolutionists, we can deduce that 40% of all scientists are ID proponents, because most scientists don't drink from the Liberal trough.

This looks like the "imminent demise of Darwinism" that has been predicted for the last 150 years.

The threat being posed by the ID movement is in every newspaper across the country. Things have changed, and it isn't moving in the atheists direction.

Alignment is critical!
