Cue the standard whining about how The Establishment colludes to shut out those brave mavericks who see through the Darwinian lies.
SteveII, according to the ID/creationist crowd, everything that tends to marginalize their belief system is ideologically driven. It's not that the science has left them gasping in the dust or that they have failed utterly to present a scientific case for their religiously motivated views. It's a Conspiracy Against The Truth! It's a Culture War! They're the victims (Christians in the West are nothing if not eager make-believe victims in lieu of real persecution) of a secular, liberal plot to discredit everything holy, good, and true. Hence the need for the Discovery Institute and its sham "research" arm, the Biologic Institute which sponsors Bio-Complexity Journal. Are you familiar with the Wedge Document? If not, you might want to read it before casting your lot with these people. They are the contemporary equivalent of Lysenko -- party hacks, as it were, whose commitment to a cause outweighs their commitment to dispassionate inquiry and the truth.
But we're supposed to take them seriously? Bitch, please.
