Scientists distancing themselves from the teaching of evolution. I'd heard many are fleeing the sinking ship.

Don't get your hopes up:

"4. Increasingly, scientists doubt the truth of evolution.

No evidence suggests that evolution is losing adherents. Pick up any issue of a peer-reviewed biological journal, and you will find articles that support and extend evolutionary studies or that embrace evolution as a fundamental concept.

Conversely, serious scientific publications disputing evolution are all but nonexistent. In the mid-1990s George W. Gilchrist of the University of Washington surveyed thousands of journals in the primary literature, seeking articles on intelligent design or creation science. Among those hundreds of thousands of scientific reports, he found none. In the past two years, surveys done independently by Barbara Forrest of Southeastern Louisiana University and Lawrence M. Krauss of Case Western Reserve University have been similarly fruitless.

Creationists retort that a closed-minded scientific community rejects their evidence. Yet according to the editors of Nature, Science and other leading journals, few antievolution manuscripts are even submitted. Some antievolution authors have published papers in serious journals. Those papers, however, rarely attack evolution directly or advance creationist arguments; at best, they identify certain evolutionary problems as unsolved and difficult (which no one disputes). In short, creationists are not giving the scientific world good reason to take them seriously."

the position do we leap deliver to? Have a higher u . s . a . in mind? Nah, i will look ahead to the bucks provide way, an extra desirable oil shortage and risky healthcare to screw the country over so undesirable that theres entire civil unrest and a kind of "standard decision" to go back to a call on whos left. My bets are on the republicans who've guns. The mormons will maximum regularly make it by using way of too by using very incontrovertible actuality that all of them inventory for a million year of no food.

Fortunately, no prominent names, no.

But, you know, if prominent scientists were to actually abandon the theory, they would be doing because of convincing data that contradicts our understanding of evolution. As we all know, not a shred of evidence currently exists that contradicts it.

I heard only the ones named Steve are left :P

I believe a question was just asked about this. The question was pertaining to "Why do people lie about scientific principles."

Do you have any evidence to back up that assertion?

I'd love to see your source.

You bear false witness.

You heard wrong.

You HAVE to be kidding me, right?

Please tell me you're really not this ignorant of reality.
