I am referring to peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals, not books or articles that are reviewed by fellow ID proponents in ID journals and not submitted to mainstream scientific publications. If they're submitting to traditional peer-review then it doesn't matter if they are religious fanatics or if I ignore them-- their work would be part of the record and they would be making progress in re-shaping or overturning the theory of evolution. If they're shielding their work from legitimate peer-review, why shouldn't I ignore them?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
