I understand the obsession to "explain away" these deserters, but
honesty over bias needs to be the ruling objective not excuses.

You call them crackpots, but as I pointed out they are just as educated
with the same credentials as mainstream scientist. The question is what
are your credentials to pass judgement on these intellectuals including
scientist holding PhDs. Probably nothing more than extreme bias.

 
No, a PhD is not a license to believe in nonsense, although some
people act like it is.  You've made the error of argument from
authority here, since even PhDs can easily get things wrong.

You called them deserters.  How is that honest?

This is they way any contrary evidence to
scientific theories IE evolution or abiogenesis is dismissed without
knowing or understanding anything about the case they bring against
evolution. When one relies strictly on on sided information and based on
this, they are in no position to pass judgement. It's exactly parallel
to a case where the Judge hears the prosecution, then pronounces I've
heard enough - _guilty_! I strongly suspect this describes you knowing
nothing about actual ID or the information offered by IDest pointing put
the fallacies in abiogenesis or evolution. If you think yoy know
anything regarding this, it's no doubt from proponent of evolution.

For you to accuse others of ignorance is remarkably ironic.

True, but science advances, not by going along following the same path
ways that have been explored. But by taking new pathways.

Taking random pathways doesn't advance science.
