"It's not good when science deliberately closes off all competition from other possibilities."

I agree 100%, these guys close their minds to possibilities and then think themselves scientific.

My guess is that few of them are aware that the rock formed from Mt. St. Helens was Potassium Argon dated to be millions of years old, despite the fact that scientists watched the rock form. And the same dating problem shows up in 18 other recent volcanic eruptions. And they wouldn't believe it if you told them.

They believe it or suspect it, but there is as much politics and back biting in science as there is in D.C. politics, there always has been.

They don't want to appear religious so they write off the bible which plainly states there was a spontaneous creation of several different species at differnt times, and that everything was created mature, already old. So they do contortions to avoid what is in front of their faces just because it's religous.
