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.

Really? So the Bible didn't leave out anything? It told the whole story?

If so, then why did these guys have to write the creationist theory on the Grand Canyon? I would have thought that would have been in the Bible already.

I am religious and a scientist. I believe in intelligent design, but have no problem with evolution since there is no contradiction between the two. There is contradiction between evolution and what the bible says, but that is irrelevant since a literal interpretation of the bible makes about as much sense as Allah reserving 40 virgins for suicide bombers. My office is just yards from the most famous (infamous in this forum) evolutionist alive today, and I could fill volumes with the criticisms I have heard about his opinions. I have yet to encounter, however, any person with a history of respectable academic accomplishments disagree with Dr. Weinberg's general thesis. The reason scientists are so dismissive of opposition to the "theory" of evolution, is because it is as much of a fact as gravity, even though that is just a "theory" as well. Bluntly put, anybody who doesn't believe in evolution shouldn't teach your kid's science class.
