"Sudden Origins" by Jeffery H Schwartz

Um, you are clearly mistaken. Anyone can contribute, no matter what their 'credentials', the issue is the calibre of the submitted work. That is why Percy describes the journals Schwartz work on this has been published in as 'less demanding', not because they demand a lower level of qualification to publish but because they do not have the same profile, are not submitted to as frequently and therefore have a naturally less stringent review process. That is not to say that they do not have a robust review process, merely that it is not as stringent as for a higher impact journal. There is a well established hierarchy in terms of the order in which one would proceed in submitting a paper for publication working down from the highest impact generalist journals to the more specific ones with high impact in a particular field and finally down to the ones that are edited by a close personal friend and only exist online. Because the reasons their work is likely to be considered ineligible for publication are the same reasons why ID is considered unscientific. Clearly when it is done scientifically ID oriented research can be published, as Behe and Snokes' showed, albeit not necessarily in a particularly high profile journal, but at the same time their work highlights the fact that when it is done scientifically this ID oriented research offers no solace at all to the ID movement but rather supports the current evolutionary theory.Scientific journals aren't set up to publish views, they are set up to publish scientific research. If all the ID movement has are views then they aren't ever going to get published except via the backdoor as in the case of Meyer's paper. Is this a trick question?TTFN,WK
