Gullibility isn't in the dictionary

Pierre-Marie Robitaille and Stephen Meyer don't trust scientific method.

Robitaille, an Ohio State University radi ology professor, bought a $125,000 full-page ad in last Sunday's New York Times to publish as trophysical theories he said no scientific journal would touch. The ideas about the composition of the sun and the creation of the universe "are simply too opposed to current thought," he said.

And Meyer, with colleagues at the Seattle-based Discovery Institute, urged the State Board of Education to recognize peer review's bias and change the very definition of science to allow teachers to present the idea that some kind of intelligent, designing force played a role in life's development.
