The professors who are brave enough to mention the Intelligent Design are sacked from their universities. The reason being that Intelligent Design challenges the theory that life came about by accident due to conducive conditions for the relevant mixture of chemicals. The Sternberg peer review controversy concerns the conflict arising from the publication of an article supporting the controversial concept of intelligent design in a scientific journal, and the subsequent questions of whether proper editorial procedures had been followed and whether it was properly peer reviewed. One of the primary criticisms of the intelligent design movement is that there are no research papers supporting their positions in peer reviewed scientific journals.[1] On 4 August 2004, an article by Stephen C. Meyer (Director of Discovery Institutes Center for Science and Culture) titled The origin of biological information and the higher taxonomic categories, appeared in the peer-reviewed journal, Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington. Meyers article was a literature review article, and contained no new primary scholarship itself on the topic of intelligent design.[2] The following month, the publisher of the journal, the Council of the Biological Society of Washington, released a statement repudiating the article and stating that their former editor Richard M. Sternberg had, in an unusual manner, handled the entire review process without consultation or review from an associate editor.[3] The position of editor was unpaid and voluntary, and Sternberg had put in his resignation from it six months earlier.[4] Sternberg disputes the Councils statement and asserts that the paper was appropriately peer reviewed by three biologists who concluded that [the paper] warranted publication.[5] https://youtube/watch?v=V5EPymcWp-g&feature=youtu.be
