And one thing I should add as well, even if we look at university scientists, who supposedly are more able to conduct "pure" science because of the academic nature, they are still enslaved to whatever the peer-reviewers want to publish. The university gets academic cred for what their scientists manage to do, and they can only publicize that if it's through a peer-reviewed journal.Peter Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792036365040378473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-79968750951033324972009-12-08T00:32:17.015-05:002009-12-08T00:32:17.015-05:00You're on to something with this one. Another ...You're on to something with this one. Another factor would be scientific journal pressures. If you want to get published where your field of study is politically charged, you have to arrive at conclusions that are politically correct for the reviewers of the journals. And if you don't get published, it's not likely that you will be able to get OPM. And don't think that power brokers who stand to gain ideological ground from scientific conclusions aren't actively trying to influence those conclusions any way they can.Jim Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446388434272680014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-5876741843128239092009-12-07T17:07:53.284-05:002009-12-07T17:07:53.284-05:00I'm glad to hear that, Peter.

I would just politely request that you not hold back, but that you instead do a repeated and hard "full body check" on evolutionary "science." <br /><br />Unless you've given up hockey for couples figure skating. <br /><br />;-)Truth Unites... and Divideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891402278361538353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-57393156640431688772009-12-07T16:54:40.189-05:002009-12-07T16:54:40.189-05:00TUAD,
