closeA word of indignation

Authors, editors, and journal should be deeply ashamed. This should never have happened! Now ID guys have what they wished for decades! The damage is done and I am not sure it can be undone. Somebody has to be dismissed promptly. I never had the desire and now surely I will never submit an article to this journal, no matter how you all will apologize or try to fix this mess. I believe the entire scientific community worldwide is truly wrathful with this episode. What a shame!

Your reaction is totally uncalled for, in a huge wave of fraudulent publications and academic misconduct, this article doesn't deserve a bit of the concern and outrage emanating from these indignant comments.
The use of the term "creator" by no means is more unscientific and unfitting than the tautological word "evolution" (as noticed by Philip Skell).

The term, actually, is the least of the problems. It speaks volumes that you haven't noticed them.
