Project Steve is illegitimate for two reasons. First, the documentary [[Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed]] and the book ''Slaughter of the Dissidents'' have shown that evolutionists have used illegitimate means to bully opponents.<ref>[http://www.icr.org/article/book-review-slaughter-dissidents/ Book Review: Slaughter of the Dissidents by Brian Thomas, M.S. * </ref> So any surveys of scientists are questionable at best given the reluctance of evolution skeptics to participate in such surveys given the potential harmful impact such surveys may have on their careers. Secondly, legitimate science is not dependent on consensus/voting, but by empirical evidence and replication of experiments. Adaption/[[microevolution]] occurs in nature, but there is no experimental evidence supporting [[macroevolution]]. By relying on voting/consensus rather than empirical evidence and replicated science, evolutionists are confusing political endeavors with scientific endeavors. | Project Steve is illegitimate for two reasons.
