Scientists? Why would we listen to scientists?

What a remarkable piece of reporting. The liberal, rational New York Times has a story chronicling the rise and success of the Discovery Institute and the effort to make creationism credible in the form of "Intelligent Design." The story begins on page one and continues on a full page inside. Thousands of words. We hear from pro-ID historians, philosphers, Republicans, preznit, someone with a background in mathematics, but guess what, not a single biologist is quoted. Criticism of ID is mentioned, but reporter Jodi Wilgoren couldn't find a single biologist who would go on the record? I realize the story is about the building of a political movement, but that still seems egregious to me.

Wait. What was that reporter's name? Oh yeah, that reporter. Right, Jodi Wilgoren is always so rigorous.
