Still Rules #5, #6 & #7, post #272.
Kalamata: "Private companies tend to fund research that will help the bottom line of their companies, which would exclude almost all, if not all, evolution research."
Bottom line: you don't know how much, if any, Origin of Life research there is, or how much of it is Federally funded.
You suspect it's a lot, I suspect it's not so much, and my reason is precisely that direct practical applications for Origin of Life research are... limited.
Kalamata: "I agree that science is the opposite of religion; and evolutionism is not science, but a faith-based religion.
The only way a rational populace will accept it is by force — by the sword of the State."
Rules #2 & #5.
Kalamata: "Evolution is not a scientific theory, but a faith-based religion that has been established as the religion of the United States.
The other two you mentioned are suppressed scientific theories that preceded evolutionism, but are finally making a comeback."
Rules #1, #2 & #9.
Kalamata: "You are being deceptive again, Alinsky Joe."
Rules #2, #5 & #7.
Kalamata: "You have to be pretty desperate to recruit a corrupt judge and an even more corrupt legal team to suppress the opposition.
Science should be able to stand on its own without the threat of a Galilean type of Inquisition to those simply questioning it."
Says our proponent of religious rule over science.
It's worth noting that the school board which had voted to accept the Creationist textbook was voted out of office.
