And I would respect Behe's right to dissent from the YEC point of view. I don't throw any scientist's work out just because he says some things I disagree with. I believe a lot of evolutionary scientists are probably extremely good at their work. I just disagree with them on their view of origins and would not label any of them a "joke." I wish some of the evolution camp would take some of the highly credentialled folks that just happen to disagree with them and treat them with the same respect. Much of what is proposed is just differing views of the same evidence. Some may be stronger than others, but the going view is that if it is creationist, young earth, whatever, it is to be dismissed along with the promoter of such evidence. Creation scientists are having to sue to get their stuff published. A lot of what the better scientists have discovered can't even be heard by the scientific community as a whole, unless they search the internet. Not a very open forum for dissenting views.

Suing to get published doesn't make any sense. Why do you suppose there are so many journals? There are only a few things necessary to do science. First you must gather data. Scond you must communicate your findings to others who are interested. You cannot force the interest or respect of others, but you can record your dissent. Science is full of stories of folks who were ahead of their time. Eventually people get credit for what they did. It doesn't matter if the journal is prestigeous, as long as the communication is recorded.
