ID "Scientists "Don't Know the Realities"
Intelligent design activists insist there's a controversy among scientists over the theory of evolution. That argument is essentially demolished by Julie Berry's "God, science, and intelligent design" article in MetroWest Daily. Scroll down for an earlier post on this important article.
"They (Intelligent Design proponents) don't even understand evolution,'' says BYU's Keith Crandall. "The scientists they find are not biology researchers. They're not in the right field so they simply don't know the realities. They need to understand the arguments.''
Indeed, of the major organizations advocating for Intelligent Design, there is no practicing research geneticist to be found. Reasons to Believe is led by a physicist; the Intelligent Design Network is led a nutritional biochemist and a lawyer; and The
Discovery Institute has an executive team of public policy and philosophy specialists.
