What Is "Intellectual Dishonesty"?

I think that basically all forms of "strawman" arguments are a form of intellectual dishonesty. If one ascribes a false definition to a theory i.e. that abiogenesis and evolution are the same, and then claims therefore the theory is false because the evidence gathered does not address the strawman theory, one is dishonest. It also tends to demonstrate that the person constructing the strawman arguement is unable to assail the actual theory and must therefore resort to mischaracterization. Again, dishonesty as opposed to hypocrisy.

Intellectual dishonesty exists in the main stream scientific journals too, that is not giving Creationisms the time of day, cause it conflicts with federal grant money's, tenure, promotions, etc...

Be the first creationist ever to demonstrate this with 4 easy steps.1. provide a testable hypothesis of creation
2. demonstrate that this hypothesis is falsifiable
3. provide evidence both observed and experimental that supports the hypothesis
4. demonstrate how the hypothesis better explains natural phenomena than competing hypotheses or theories.If you cannot make it through ALL of these steps and crucially steps 1 and 2, then science and scientific journals have no reason to give creationism the time of day...
