If this was a done deal, your side would have dropped the big one a long time ago.

The big one was dropped by Tom Watson, probably about when you were still wetting your diapers. There is no big controversy about this inside the scientific establishment. And there likely never will be. The independently derived confirming evidence is too outrageously good and outrageously plentiful and outrageously vetted with good opportunities for disconfirmation that failed. It is irrelevant to scientific concerns that a coterie of religeously motived non-scientists with an ax to grind and a new, more sophisticated camoflage technique have managed to stampede a few school boards. This is two different battlefields entirely, but I understand perfectly why you'd like to suggest that they are merged.

Are you referring to JAMES Watson of Crick & Watson fame?

I should also have added, that if we're so irrelevant, why are you debating us? Why aren't you putting your superior brain power to use on researching, say, black holes now that evolution is a settled deal?

Or have you come up with a theory that explains everything we need to know about black holes as well?
