They devour their own.
Dr. Richard Steinberg, who holds two Ph. D.s in biology, was persecuted by bigoted Darwinists within the scientific community. As editor of "Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington", a scientific publication associated with the Smithsonian Institute, he was forced to step down as editor, had his office at the Smithsonian taken away, had to turn in his keys, had research money withheld and was even "shunned". Closed minded, fellow scientists refused to respond if he spoke to them and wouldn't even greet him in hallways. Why? Because he allowed an article, approved by a panel of scientists, to be published which promoted intelligent design rather than the religion of Darwinism. He didn't write the article. He simply allowed it to be published. If these actions had been taken by Christians against an evolutionist it would have been a front page story!
