[Mr Rogers]

Macro-evolution is not fact, nor is it science. It is, at best, history.

Biologists are brain-washed to worship evolution as the unifying principle of biology. In a graduate level class on evolution, my final exam consisted of one essay question - "Why is evolution fundamental to biology?"

My answer was that it wasn't. The professor, a good guy, gave me an A for my final - said he was certain I was wrong, but that I was the only one in the class who had actually thought about the question.

Evolution is taught as fact because the alternative is to admit we don't know. The latter is more intellectually honest, but it doesn't allow a lot of pontification.

"Macro-evolution is not fact, nor is it science. It is, at best, history."

There is no difference between micro and macro. Common descent is a fact. It is as scientific as anything else in science.

"Biologists are brain-washed to worship evolution as the unifying principle of biology."

We don't worship evolution, but you certainly worship your own ignorance of evolution.

"Evolution is taught as fact because the alternative is to admit we don't know. The latter is more intellectually honest, but it doesn't allow a lot of pontification."

No, to say we don't know is a lie. Lying is a sin, is it not?
