The New Republic recently published a survey of conservative journalists on the question of “Intelligent Design” (ID), the controversial critique of Darwinian evolution which argues that living creatures did not arise by an unaided, purely material process of evolution through random genetic variation but rather through the design of an intelligence transcending the material universe. To my surprise, it turned out that almost all those surveyed, including several NR editors and contributors, were doubters not of Darwinism but of Intelligent Design.

Actually doesn't surprise me at all really.

1676 Olaf Roemer discovered that the speed of light was not infinite. It took 50 years for confirmation and a majority of scientists to agree.

Scientists have there own heart felt beliefs too. The change of beliefs and consensus among scientists takes time. Scientists can have a lot of their lives invested in one point of view or another. And to challenge their belief you challenge the validity of their life. (anyway, sometimes you just have to wait for the old farts to die off.)

Any rational human being sees more truth in evolution than the fraud that is ID. The former is based on reason, the latter on emotion.
