Nice try, but it's not going to work. Who are the most respected scientists in the field currently in respect to evolution? Stephen Jay Gould is one, and in his own analysis while he is an avid supporter of evolution, has written many articles analyzing the fossil record and is basically in agreement that there are serious holes in the theory of evolution as Darwin originally theorized that cannot be explained by what the fossil record is telling us. Gould has his own set of theories to fill in the gaps so to speak, and my guess is that eventually a newer theory will replace Darwin's theory, however in order for this to happen, we need people willing to stand up and state that the original theory of evolution according to empirical evidence simply doesn't add up.

Not all scientists agree with you. The few that are brave enough to stand up to the scientific naturalist establishment are generally chastized and oftentimes disgraced and forced out of their chosen profession. Do your homework and you'll see several instances where this occurred.


Yada Yada Yada...

People like cjbladw already know the truth. It is this knowledge, this blind faith fueled by a desire for power and political goals that closes their minds to the simple and obvious reality in front of them. Actually people like cjbladw are probably just unwitting pawns who really believe what they say. Mores the pity.

Cjbladw there is no controversy within the scientific community over the reality of evolution. There is plenty of argument and reflection on the details and how best to apply this theory to an incredibly wide variety of problems. This kind of argument is a normal and healthy part of the scientific method. Scientists who insist on pushing ideas that do not stand up to scrutiny will naturally lose credibility and eventually lose their status as "scientist." Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof. Evolution has withstood the most amazing levels of scrutiny for over a century and a half.

Portraying evolution as a theory in crisis because of ongoing debates about its details is simply an example of lying. Obviously the audience for such lies is not the scientific community. These lies are intended for the most uninformed public.

Of course any power or influence built on falsehoods and subterfuge is temporary at best. Putting God back into public life is a noble goal that deserves better than what we see here.
