Our acceptance of an authority (say, a scientific theory, or a church) should be based on good reasoning and not the personalities involved, but we are only human, too. The ultimate point of the article seems to be that the end does not justify the means. That doesnt seem too controversial.

It gets back to this.....Okay before I go on and on and on...the POINT is: because this is a Christ-centered universe SCIENCE is subservient to the Word of GOD the Bible is never subservient or accountable to mans flawed theories.
There is no way of knowing that the scientist's interpretation of the data is accurate or correct. Adjusting Scripture to fit man's ideas is folly.
The Bible says that God created man and animals from the dust of the earth, not from some other creatures. When He made Eve and used a different method, He clearly stated so and told us what the method was.
God left no ambiguity about where man came from and it wasn't from some apelike ancestor.
You can quote the pope all you want and it doesn't make HIM right either if he's teaching contrary to Scripture.
