Question #3

The scientists response appeared dismissive, which alienated the intelligent design community. This response creates unnecessary tension amongst both groups. As scientists we need to develop better communication skills. Our response to the intelligent design community may perhaps be more important then winning the argument. Developing good communication between the intelligent design community and the scientists will create a higher likelihood the intelligent design community eventually accepts evolution. The general public is much more receptive to a respectful scientist. In the long run, public perception is very useful which perhaps is key to evolution acceptance.
