Please. I don't shoot first and ask questions later. I looked at the journal's web site, poked around a little, and it really didn't take long at all before I found this (in their own words):
| Quote: | Started in 1984, the Journal of Creation brings you in-depth, peer-reviewed comment, reviews and the latest research findings that relate to origins and the biblical account of Creation, the Flood and the Fall.
|
Does this sound scientific to you, or does it sound like they're starting with a conclusion? They aren't asking, "Did creation, the Flood, and the Fall happen?" They've already made up their minds and are searching for evidence to fit their preconceived views, just like I said. This IS NOT science.
But wait, there's more:
| Quote: |
The journal covers a wide spectrum of studies, not just science. Powerful articles have appeared on topics such as philosophy, theology, history, archaeology, social sciences and many more.
|
In other words, it's not even PRETENDING to be a scientific journal. It openly admits that its purview is not limited to science.

See? They're only interested in publishing papers which are biblically consistent. They start with the conclusion, and will only publish papers which support this conclusion, and furthermore these papers don't even have to be scientific.

Because they openly admit otherwise, and even consider it to be a selling point! They brag about how unscientific their journal is!

No, like I said, I read their web page. It was immediately obvious that the journal is a disgrace to all scientific journals.
That's why I want Dr. Michael to cite some PROPER papers from some mainstream journals which support his point of view. That's all I'm asking for. Either do that or admit that creationists and YECs can't get their ideas published in mainstream journals. _________________ "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

I see no such thing, all I see is them telling when they started and what their findings relate to. If it had read, 'started in 1984, this journal brings you in-depth, peer-reviewed comment, reviews and the latest research on findings that relate to Evolution' would you think that they were searching for evidence to fit their preconceived views?
All I see, and what you are attempting to make much of, is them giving a description of themselves. They are saying they are a journal that deals with these issues. For you to then extrapolate from this simple comment that they started with their conclusion and are looking for evidence is for you to superimpose what isn't there...it is very dishonest.

My friend, stop. Do you discredit every Scientific Journal that covers Philosophy and History as well? As he said above, being not limited to science does not make it unscientific.

When one quotes truth, or what they think as truth, they necessarily point out the flaws in what they think is false. Even your 'Scientific Journals' do this. Or would have me believe that these Journals of yours do not point out flaws in opposing theories?

Perhaps then you can show me from your Journals wherein they publish papers that are not 'Evolutionary-consistent'? Do they routinely publish articles that contradict the evolutionary 'truth'? Or are they pretty much centered around this a prior belief and do not stray from this???

Its a peer review agency, in other words, we look over all different types of articles presented for journals.
Publications online? Not unless you go to GoogleScholar. I personally don't have a lot here that I can show you that I've edited...all on my computer at work. |

They're publishing papers about Creation, the Flood, and the Fall. They're starting with the conclusion that these things happened and they are looking for evidence to support this preconceived conclusion. Please don't make me go and get articles from the journal which prove it.

Proper scientific journals don't do this. If you submit a purely philosophical or historical piece to a scientific journal, most will reject you outright. Proper journals tend to have a very narrow scope which doesn't include philosophy or history. That is what philosophy and history journals are for. In fact, there are probably even journals about scientific philosophy and history.

Dr. Michael said that 57% of mainstream scientists are creationists. If creationists can't get their papers published in scientific journals under these conditions which totally favor them, then obviously there must be something seriously wrong with the SCIENCE of what they're claiming.

So people submit papers to journals, they send them to you, and then you find appropriate peer reviewers? Is that how it works?
Which journals do you guys work with?

No, they don't have to be publications which are located on-line. I'm at a major research university with a first rate library system. I will be able to find any and all papers that you've published. If you can cite it, I can find it! _________________ "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

Simply because they're publishing papers about those subjects in no way equates that they started with those conclusions. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't EVERY JOURNAL publish papers about certain subjects, should we then (if you're reasoning is correct) assume that they all started with specific conclusions and are then attempting to find evidences for them?
I really would love if you went and got the articles to prove this claim of your's. I would much rather me look like an ass, then for you to continue making these assertions without backing. I for one am able to admit when I am wrong, therefore go get the papers and prove me wrong. Please.

But the mere idea that there is included within there different subjects does not mean that the Science likewise included in there is discredited. Perhaps they are not 'proper' in that they don't follow by the rules, but being improper doesn't mean you can't speak truth.

But P! don't you see that even if they did get them published in 'Scientific Journals' you would outright reject the journals as not being scientific based solely upon them containing these articles. Even if 57% percent of all Scientist were creationist, and 98% of all journals featured Creationist Papers, you would nonetheless say they were not Proper enough, or not main-stream enough, or not Scientific enough.
| Quote: | | Dr. Michael thinks that mainstream science is biased TOWARDS creationism, and not away from it. |
As long as you continue to say the word 'mainstream science' and offer no objective definition for it, this statement is meaningless. You continually redefine what is 'mainstream' to represent whatever branch doesn't represent your opposing views... _________________ simul justus et peccator

As far as what we do:
"The Peer Review Process"
What Happens to Your Grant Application
A Primer for New Applicants
The Center for Scientific Review (CSR) receives all NIH and many other Public Health Service grant applications. Most investigator-initiated applications for NIH funds are referred to CSR review groups. The NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) coordinate the review of many IC-specific applications and use the same peer review process described below.
Your application is assigned to a review group and an NIH Institute or Center
One or more CSR Referral Officers examines your application and determines the most appropriate Integrated Review Group (IRG) to assess it for scientific merit. Your application is then assigned to one of the IRG’s study sections. A study section typically includes 30 or more scientists from the community of productive researchers. Your application also will be assigned to the NIH IC best suited to fund your application should it have sufficient merit. (More than one IC may be assigned if appropriate.)
Referral Officers follow established guidelines that define the review boundaries of each study section. These boundaries frequently overlap, and more than one study section may have the expertise to review your application. You may request in a cover letter with your application that it be assigned to a particular study section or IC. The CSR referral office seriously considers such requests.
The combined expertise of the scientists in a study section is intended to span the breadth and diversity of the science it covers. CSR may recruit temporary reviewers or secure mail reviews from outside consultants. Special Emphasis Panels also may be formed on an ad-hoc basis to review applications when special expertise is required or when special circumstances arise.
An assignment notice is sent to you
Within 10 days of determining your assignments, CSR will send notices to you and your sponsored research office. You may question either your study section or IC assignment by contacting the Scientific Review Administrator (SRA) noted in your letter or the CSR referral office (301-435-0715). It usually takes 6 weeks to refer the thousands of applications submitted each round. If you do not receive your notice within this period, you should contact the referral office.
Reviewers are identified
Your SRA will analyze the content of your application, check for completeness, and decide which study section members can best review it or act as discussants. Study section members receive electronic copies of your application approximately 6 weeks before their meeting. Typically, two or three members are asked to provide written reviews of each application, and one or two additional members serve as discussants. These members alos will receive paper copies of your application.
Because of the multi-month period between submission and review, applicants often wish to submit additional materials. Before you do, you should contact your SRA to ascertain the acceptable content, format, and deadline.
Before the study section meets, members list all R01 applications believed to be in the lower half for scientific merit. If all members agree, these applications are “streamlined.” They will not be discussed at the meeting, but the assigned reviewers will still provide written critiques. “Streamlining” is not equivalent to disapproval.
The review meeting is convened
Study section members convene for about 2 days. One member serves as chair and conducts the meeting with the SRA. Relevant NIH extramural staff are encouraged to attend, but they may not participate. Assigned reviewers and discussants present their evaluations and outside opinions are read. After a general discussion, members mark their priority scores privately on scoring sheets, which are later tabulated by CSR.
The results are made available to you
Within a few days after the meeting, your priority score and percentile ranking are available to you via the NIH Commons. Information on the Commons and how to register is available at https://commons.era.nih.gov/commons. Within about 30 days, your summary statement will be available via your NIH Commons account. It will include (1) the written critiques produced by the assigned reviewers, (2) the SRA’s summary of the study section’s discussion, (3) study section recommendations, and (4) administrative notes of special consideration.
The assigned NIH Institute or Center Takes Charge
After the review, an IC program officer will be your main point of contact. He or she may help interpret your review results or answer questions about the further consideration of your application. In a second level of peer review, IC Advisory Councils may consider the study section’s recommendations and determine the relevance of your proposed research to IC priorities and public health needs.

Seems to me that we have read much about 'peer review' and then when faced with the actual fact of peer review, the idea is trying to be discredited. Mainly because what is being peer reviewed doesn't jive with a particular agenda.
Intellectual dishonesty, pure and simple.
By the way, are anthropology and archeology sciences? It would seem that history necessarily involves the two, doesn't it? _________________ JP's Mind - my blog

They're so-called 'soft sciences'. _________________ "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

so-called? is this qualified in peer-reviewed scientific journal somewhere? _________________ JP's Mind - my blog
