[[Jason Rosenhouse]] summarized the prevailing attitude of the scientific community.

[[Jason Rosenhouse]] summarized the prevailing attitude of the scientific community: "Scientists who have responded to ID arguments in print have generally done so with a tone of sneering contempt. This is understandable: ID supporters present fallacious arguments, use dishonest rhetoric, and often present non-contemptuous responses as evidence that their theories are gaining acceptance."<ref name="name">{{cite journal |last=Rosenhouse |first=Jason |author-link=Jason Rosenhouse |date=January 2003 |title=Leaders and Followers in the Intelligent-Design Movement |url=http://bioscience.oxfordjournals.org/content/53/1/6.full |journal=[[BioScience]] |location=Washington, D.C. |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] on behalf of the [[American Institute of Biological Sciences]] |volume=53 |issue=1 |pages=6–7 |doi=10.1641/0006-3568(2003)053[0006:LAFITI]2.0.CO;2 |issn=0006-3568 |access-date=2014-05-19|doi-access=free }}</ref>
