'So...do you think scientists carefully isolate themselves from "real facts", in assessing biological questions?'

Of course not! Although when you study any scientific controversies, you'll find that they weigh facts very differently, to get different conclusions.

Which does not gainsay that 1) what scientists think is what should be taught in science class, and 2) Overwhelmingly, scientists think that the evidence for evolution by variation and selection is one of the most important and profoundly verified theories in natural science.

But in this case, I still maintain that most of the confusion has come from the media.

Than, offhand, it is the media, and not science classes that needs correcting.

They have bent the facts and introduced much confusion. Just look at the different interpretations of ID on this single thread. I'm still not sure I know what the basic tenets are.

In that case, it probably shouldn't be considered a theory of natural science so well established as to deserve a place in a science classroom alongside of the likes of Darwinian evolutionary theory.

' On the basis of what? A world-wide conspiracy to keep their cushy jobs?'

Hoo hoo you are funny. Yeah scientists are living the high life.

I didn't invent this theory to explain why scientists favor Darwin to the exclusion of ID. But I agree that it's pretty funny.

The IAT (Intelligent Atomic Theory) is also pretty funny. The cause why decay happens is an intelligent atomic designer plays to hard with his billiard nucleis. The standard scientific theory provides no solution why decay really happened.
