Here is a link to an exchange between Dr. Edward E. Max of talkdeceptions and creation scientist Dr. Lee Spetner. It's somewhat lengthy and somewhat technical, but perhaps some may profit. I did a little myself. In my judgment, Max accomplished little indeed for the cause of untruth. Even if you aren't up for the technical lingo, Dr. Spetner's testimony against the "peer review" scam is valuable. MAX’S ARGUMENT HERE IS THE LAST REFUGE OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS. SINCE THEY CONTROL THE LITERATURE IN EVOLUTION, THEY REJECT PAPERS THAT SERIOUSLY CRITICIZE IT. MANY AUTHORS HAVE ATTEMPTED TO PUBLISH SUCH PAPERS AND THEY HAVE BEEN REJECTED, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE FLAWED, BUT FOR TANGENTIAL REASONS. I HAVE SUBMITTED SUCH PAPERS; ONE WAS REJECTED FOR “NOT BEING OF SUFFICIENT INTEREST", AND ANOTHER WAS REJECTED FOR “NOT BEING SUFFICIENTLY FOCUSED.” SO THEY LOVE TO USE THE CATCH THAT OBJECTIONS SUCH AS MINE TO NDT “HAVE NOT BEEN PUBLISHED IN PEER REFEREED JOURNALS." That last excuse is bogus at face value - it makes no pretense of legitimacy! How can anything new be published if there is a requirement that it must already have been published? Yet this is what passes for "clever" in "elite" academia!  elitists How anyone can imagine those who behave like undisciplined toddlers are somehow "elite" is a marvel!
Dark Matter + Dark Energy = Dark Truth"We find that such evidence demonstrates that the ID argument is dependent upon setting a scientifically unreasonable burden of proof for the theory of evolution." - Judge Jones Kitzmiller case http://www.talkreason.org/articles/Falsify.cfm"To Compel A Man To Furnish Funds For The Propagation Of Ideas He Disbelieves And Abhors Is Sinful And Tyrannical." - Thomas Jefferson "And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath?" - Thomas Jefferson
