Additional quotes by Eugenie Scott

ID advocates complain that their views are rejected out of hand by the scientific establishment, yet they do not play by normal rules of presenting their views first through scientific conferences and then to peer-reviewed journals and then in textbooks.

To be scientific in our era is to search for solely natural explanations.
