Originally posted by KazetNagorraI've made the claim in this forum more than once that all creationists and IDers in more than forty years of alleged research have published exactly one article in a refereed scientific journal on the subject of their claims.

Well, you're making the claim, why don't you provide some statistic concerning the ideas of leading biologists? How many leading biologists reject the core ideas of evolution theory: natural selection, DNA, mutations?
Now, I'm seeking to tap the wisdom and experience of RHP posters, if there is any wisdom to be found here, to ascertain new sources of refutation about specious claims in fora that are new to me.
Originally posted by WulebgrI don't see what you mean, there is no reason to assume biologists' confidence in the core ideas of evolution theory is waning, so why waste any time trying to confirm the obvious?

Knowing the truth is insufficient. War is imminent and the truth must be defended. I'm looking for sharper steel. Evidently you wish only to offer the same tired refrain. It no longer cuts as well as it once did.
Nothing is more vital than error. Controversies rarely if
ever die. They merely sink beneath the surface of literate attention
and continue a submerged existence in the dark, unfathomed caves
of the popular mind.

Originally posted by KazetNagorraThe people to argue with are school board members that are listening to creationists, and the editors of law journals publishing their claims
