I know the score as it pertains to vested interests of certain academics who have other more religion related agendas and the uselessness of a corporate/academic system where what most matters are credentials, affiliations and other academic ways of making even crap look good on paper. |
It doesn't matter when you were born - you are clearly very poorly informed about both academia and science. The very cynical stereotype that you are espousing bears little resemblance to what I've seen on a daily basis over many years. What most matters is generation and publication of exciting new ideas backed up by solid data, or clever generation of new data, together with success in winning grants. Crap cleverly packaged on occasion gets some short-term undeserved attention, but it gets nothing over the medium to long term: look at Dembski's career as an example.
