Have the ID critiques of evolutionary theory been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals?
Peer review is the standard process by which scientists judge each other’s work and deem it acceptable for publication in scientific journals. Only one article supporting ID has ever been published in a peer-reviewed journal – the Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington – and it was later disavowed by the Society’s governing council. The writer was a philosopher of science, not a practicing scientist, and the article reported no original data. Other scientific publications by authors affiliated with ID were on subjects other than ID. Aside from this one instance, proponents of ID have published their work in the popular press, avoiding review by experts.
