The Failure of Creationism: The Theory That Never Was

Creationism, especially in its pseudoscience manifestation, Intelligent Design, has failed to make any significant progress in its campaign to be adopted by mainstream biomedical scientists. Instead, it is almost universally condemned and rejected by scientific bodies througout the developed world. It makes no predictions and cannot be tested therefore it is usless as a science and has still not generated a single peer-reviewed paper in any mainstream science journal.. The only signifcant success of the Discovery Institutes 'Wedge' Strategy, launched in 1991 and now hopelessly behind schedule, has been to confuse American public opinion about the level of support in the scientific community for the Theory of Evolution. Surveys show that 98% of biomedical scientists accept the theory while American public opinion is that it is only accepted by about 66% of scientists.
