More ID nonsense

Heard today from an ID proponent that there were NO open ID proponent professors with tenure. I decided to check out the dissnet from darwin list and picked out a few random names. Of any i could find a link to, all had tenure. Examples include Henry F Schaefer of the University of Georgia, Scott Minnich of the University of Idaho, RUSSELL W CARLSON of the Univerity of Georgia, and Richard Spence of UC Davis... These are just a few quickly selected names, chosen only because they represent universities in the United states. Other than that, the names were selected randomly within that criteria. If all the ones i could find had tenure, who knows how many do out of the hundreds of signatures on the list. The point of this is that you can't say there are NO open ID proponent professors with tenure.I just listed at least one, the negation of the statement. Therefore the original statement is false. This argument was supposed to be evidence of the so called "conspiracy" against ID. Once again another one of these arguments does not stand up to even a moment's scrutiny.
