Certainly one could question the perspective of the reviewers. But, is that
something you typically do of any other peer review article? The choice of
reviewers is certainly the perogative of the editor. Sternberg makes no
claims to be a proponent of ID.

an ad hominem that has nothing to do with the issue.

It seems clear to me that there has been a biased treatment of Sternberg
here. The bias is for the philosophical naturalistic view. The claims made
against Sternberg, do not seem to be holding up to the light of the truth.

I am surprised that Christian scientists on this list cant see this as an
example of the relgion of atheism and its bias against theism.
Whether you want to admit it or not, the scientific world is guilty of some
degree of political correctness. There is a war going on here, and you would
think that folks here would at the least be willing to concede that
something has gone terribly wrong in this situation.
