"That's something of a false dilemma, since anyone familiar with the process knows that journals, because of philosophical bias, wouldn't publish anything promoting ID, since it conflicts with the WORLDVIEW of the peer reviewers relied upon by the journals."

I am "familiar with the process".

Learn to read.

I specified that they must do and publish valid scientific work in peer-reviewed journals. Then I said, "ALSO, publish in favor of "intelligent design".

Your accusation that reputable journals reject valid scientific work -- just because the authors have (in other venues) expressed their religions beliefs-- is slanderous, paranoid, ignorant, un-Christian, and, simply, a damnable lie.

It's not that I need to "learn to read", but that you need to be less ambiguous in the way you write. Your original posts is easily interpretable as saying that you were asking me to list ten scientists who publish in peer-reviewed journals, AND who publish for ID, and your wording definitely suggests (even if you didn't mean as such) that you intended "publish in these same journals for ID".

Your accusation that reputable journals reject valid scientific work -- just because the authors have (in other venues) expressed their religions beliefs-- is slanderous, paranoid, ignorant, un-Christian, and, simply, a damnable lie.

Now YOU are the one who needs to learn to read, since I clearly wrote, "That's something of a false dilemma, since anyone familiar with the process knows that journals, because of philosophical bias, wouldn't publish anything promoting ID, since it conflicts with the WORLDVIEW of the peer reviewers relied upon by the journals."

Quite clearly I said journals won't publish anything promoting ID - I said absolutely nothing about journals not publishing someone because of previously expressed religious beliefs.

As for your original question, I suppose you assume (incorrectly) that Behe, Dembski, and other accredited, Ph.Ded scientists don't publish in peer-reviewed academic journals relevant to their particular fields of study? If so, then you would be incorrect.
