Ah yes, if you differ with someone, you're putting him on a pedestal So when you said I pissed you off, you were putting me on a pedestal.

You put science on a pedastal too I see.

Thats society as a whole. I don't pretend it isn't so.

<Why was McWhorter compelled to disavow his interview with Behe within hours of its posting on the net? If that isn't reminiscent of Galileo being forced to recant, what is it?>

Please! You think there was some 'Science Czar' swooping down on him? He was probably embarrassed... that's his problem if he hangs with someone who thinks he looks stupid and he decides to do that.

That just isn't believable. He was extremely enthused through that interview. Obviously if he trully reversed himself within hours, he was talked to and told it would be his last interview.

I disagree... you're bringing up individual (aethist I guess) scientists that happen to have a market for their books and saying what a crime that is..... THEY DONT SELL BUPKISS~!

I don't recall mentioning their book sales, rather their honor and prestige given them by academic institutions and media publications, including scientific publications. However, its not true that they don't sell.
