I was doing some thinking about why it seems that nine times out of ten if you run across someone who’s a scientist and a creationist, they’re an engineer (whose rule is that?)...

Salem's Law or Salem Hypothesis

Salem Hypothesis np.

Conjecture that an education in the engineering disciplines forms a predisposition to Scientific Creationism viewpoints. Due to longtime t.o. regular Bruce Salem. New Creationist or Theistic Anti-Evolutionist posters whose credentials include EE, CSE, ME, or other brands of engineering are noted as "data points for the Salem Hypothesis". (My own personal experience indicates that of engineering disciplines, EE's are most often encountered in SciCre-ist postings. I don't believe that I have ever seen a chemical engineering SciCre-ist, on the other hand.)

9 times out of 10 it’s because they don’t admit that scientisits actually are in the field of ID- There’s a whole list of 700+ scientists, teachers, profesors of all degrees, not to mention many many more all across the world- but heck- when one doesn’t even recognisze the obvious, then yes, 9 times out of ten they will get the results they want- but thanks for trying to childlishly further the wee wittle snobbery of evos, and slight of hand maligning of of ID’ers- posts like that are more appropriate over on “other sites’ known dfor such chiuldish tactics-
