Default OT Intelligent Design and is this really way way off topic

Scientific journals have minimum standards for publication. Off-
hand I expect that ID papers typically do not meet those standards.
Scientifc journals do not exist to 'give a hearing' to religiously
motivated zealots even if they *claim* to have scientific
evidence that supports their faith.


I was reading about the "science" of Michael Brehe, who is a funded
member of the Discovery Institute. Apparently his book is filled with
distortions and outright lies, according to some biologists.

One author was amused that when he mentioned "irreducible complexity"
in a paper, criticizing the conclusions with facts, proponents of ID
were happy to finally get mentioned in a peer-reviewed paper.

There is another comparison of paper publication - intelligent design
versus evolution:
