Dontchaknow? If a Creationist or ID scientist is denied tenure, then everythign they have ever said, or ever wil lsay must therefore be a lie? Silly you- Someone who isn’t awarded tenure can NEVEr EVER under any circumstances present truth apparently- (although those makign that silly claim show hte weakness of hteir position- but are just too blind to see it apparently- Attack the messenger- attack their credentials, and insist that unless they are mainstream- that htey couldn’t possibly have anythign of scientific value ot present- Gee- what a powerful coutner-argument put forth by some on htis thread- but it’s typical anti-Christian/creation tactics- throwing spitwads because they’re out of ammo)

—Here I thought I might be the victim of the most grievous misreadings and non sequiturs - but that may be the most bizarre tortuous twisting of a post I’ve seen – ever. I’m actually jealous.
“attack their credentials”
—Examining the credentials of someone going for tenure; imagine that. What’s next – examining the resume of someone applying for a job? That’s just not right!
Yeah, your credentials shouldn't have anything to do with whether you are awarded tenure. Maybe we should award tenure by some criteria other than performance? That does sound very liberal, very affirmative-action.
The awarding of tenure is largely based on academic publication performance. That's for everybody, not just IDers. And after an impressive earlier performance, his original publications dropped through the floor as he was going for tenure.
