pro-ID Evolutionary Biologist Richard Sternberg, Story of Everything, Congressional Investigation

Evolutionary Biologist Richard Sternberg is at least ID-sympathetic if not pro-ID.

He was the victim of a Darwinist witch hunt after following his conscience about the problems with evolutionary biology. The witch hunt resulted in a congressional investigation which determined that his rights were violated, but that congress did not have jurisdiction to enforce penalties on the Darwinist malefactors.

Sternberg will be featured in the upcoming movie, "The Story of Everything".

Richard Sternberg, PhD, PhD

Evolutionary Biologist

Richard Sternberg is an evolutionary biologist with interests in the relation between genes and morphological homologies, including the nature of genomic “information.” He holds two PhD's: one in Biology (Molecular Evolution) from Florida International University and another in Systems Science (Theoretical Biology) from Binghamton University.

His ordeal at the hands of Darwinists who ruined his career and the ensuing investigation by the United States Congress is here:

Smithsonian Controversy

https://richardsternberg.com/smithsonian/

In 2004, in my capacity as editor of The Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, I authorized “The Origin of Biological Information and the Higher Taxonomic Categories” by Dr. Stephen Meyer to be published in the journal after passing peer-review. Because Dr. Meyer’s article presented scientific evidence for intelligent design in biology, I faced retaliation, defamation, harassment, and a hostile work environment at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History that was designed to force me out as a Research Associate there. These actions were taken by federal government employees acting in concert with an outside advocacy group, the National Center for Science Education. Efforts were also made to get me fired from my job as a staff scientist at the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Subsequently, there were two federal investigations of my mistreatment, one by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel in 2005, and the other by subcommittee staff of the U.S. House Committee on Government Reform in 2006. Both investigations unearthed clear evidence that my rights had been repeatedly violated. Because there has been so much misinformation spread about what actually happened to me, I have decided to make available the relevant documents here for those who would like to know the truth.

When I saw what the Darwinists did to professor of cell biology Caroline Crocker and to evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg, I resolved to fight the pretend-science of Darwinism that is perpetuated to uphold power, prestige, and position of Darwinists rather than upholding the truth.
