When Michael Behe says that evolution is wrong, why can't he just be saying that evolution is wrong. When Simon Conway Morris says that evolution is wrong, why can't he just be saying that evolution is wrong. When Michael Denton says its wrong... When a thousand other scientists say it's wrong, why must we look for a motivation for their saying its wrong-unless you are also going to look for a motivation every time a scientists says its right?
Please feel free to actually name these supposed 'scientists' who are against the historic, genetic, biologic, geologic, chemical, anthropological, and indeed even economic evidence for the TOE. Among those willing to sign up in support of the inherent dishonesty of the Discovery Institute, there were some 700 instead of thousands, most of which were clueless about biology and geology due to such subjects being outside of their purview.
The consensus stands because the consensus works, what has creation science or ID contributed to the world other than sucking time and money from the populace due to various legal maneuvers?
What has the idea of using evidence to support conclusions done to the world? Do I need to spell it out?
Anyone who is honest knows that the scientific community is an old boy kind of network. Counter theories are not giving the same access to resources as the paradigm. Atheists have also be shown to be very afraid or at least antagonistic towards those of faith, Hitchens, Dawkins, Myers..should I continue?
As has been repeated here ad infinitum, it's all about evidence, no evidence, no repeatable experiments, no tenure.
Do Universities have the moral superiority when they banish scientists with opposing viewpoints?
See above.
You can get down off your moral high horse, because you were never on it to begin with.
Considering the fact you claim to be from China, yet speak unlike anyone from China I have not only even known but even heard of, I am curious as to who your moral teacher is, Confucius, Lhotse, Mao, Chang Kai Sheik , Jesus, Allah, or somebody else?
Quite frankly, to me you seem rather more a home schooled American Biblical fundamentalist.

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
Salman Rushdie
This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
