[_ Old Earth _] ID desperation

[reznwerks]

Sandia National Laboratories says that the Intelligent Design Network (IDNet-NM"
"Perhaps the greatest problem with the survey is the response rate. Of the 16,000 employees, a mere 248 replied. /Zogby) "Lab Poll" is BOGUS"

Harris notes "I previously reported that the IDers claimed to send a survey to 16,000 laboratory scientists at Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories. I spoke with representatives of the labs today and discovered that there are something like 14,000 total staff and only about half of them are laboratory scientists."

On August 13th, 2003, the president of Sandia National Laboratories, C. Paul Robinson, denounced the IDNet-NM survey, calling it "bogus," and affirming that Sandia National Laboratories "did not participate in the Intelligent Design Network's survey and do not support its conclusions."

The IDers have agreed that they will not use the survey in their promotions in the future. It was shameful and deceptive for them to have made the claims they did about it.

For all they know, only the janitors responded. I can assure you that most scientists, getting mail like that, toss it in the trash.
