And natural science doesn't stand up to Scripture and God. Just been in a discussion where somebody ignorant of scripture was actually trying to defend the notion that there is no conflict between evolution and Scripture. Desperation... sheesh.
Scientists and other PhD's are no less subject to the zeitgeist than anyone else.
Didn't the American Psychological Association change their stance on homosexuality after political pressure from homosexual activists? I believe that's so. In 1960, you'd have probably been hard pressed to find a psychologist who thought homosexuality was normal. Today, any psychologist who says it's abnormal would likely say it to you in a whisper, lest his career be destroyed. He would at the very least be looked down upon by his "enlightened" colleagues. As for the future, we can safely assume young psychology students are being taught by professors who are nearly 100% of the opinion that homosexuality is normal (leftist control of the universities assures that) and are learning from textbooks that spout the gay agenda.
Anyone brave enough to call homosexuality abnormal in an academic setting today will be smugly pounced upon with the fact that the APA has deemed homosexuality to be perfectly normal.
Something tells me the theory of evolution advanced in a somewhat similar manner. The political left fell in love with it, and they've "zeitgeisted" it into an ideologically protected position. Scientists who object to the theory have long since been weeded out or marginalized. Disagreement with the theory is declared to be either stupid or "religious in nature". Either way, disagreement can't be permitted. All the textbooks teach evolution. Almost all the professors do as well, and most who disagree do so in a whisper. Imagine a biology professor trying to get tenure after questioning the theory of evolution. He'd have about as much chance as a psychology professor who wrote a journal article calling homosexuality abnormal, assuming such as article could get published in the first place.
