Not extraordinary at all. Try a google search for "evolution fraud" and you get about 9,960,000 results. Use "science fraud" and you will find about 20,700,000 results! Try "religious fraud" and you will get 3,130,000 results. Do you see a trend here?
It is not logical to suggest that the number of "hits" on a general event in a Google search can be used to determine the number of times that said evnt has occured.

Do you see a trend here?No the trend I am trying to get you to see is not that there are more reports on scientific fraud than on religious fraud. It is that there are numerous reports of fraud on all sides. There are just too many people that are willing to further their cause by any means.
You seem to have a preconceived notion that scientific thought is of a higher standard or more virtuous than others. We are all human and we are all fallible. There are honest and dishonest men in all camps.
My point was that there is dishonesty on all sides of this issue.
