Ahh, scientists, the ultimate human 'priesthood'.

Claiming to understand that which is not understandable and ridiculing all who disagree.

Even those who believe must do so on faith because the basis for the position is so esoteric that you would never know where they are fudging and they certainly aren't honest enough to tell you.

Nice.

"Claiming to understand that which is not understandable and ridiculing all who disagree."

Just because you cannot or will not understand, does not make something not understandable.

There is absolutely nothing esoteric about the concept of evolution by natural selection. Some of the specific details of the science which supports it, like the physics behind radiometric dating for instance, may be a bit tough, but the concept is pretty simple, really.

You can join the "priesthood" if you like. All it requires is curiosity and study.

I'm not critical of those who want to learn, I'm just critical of those who are unlearned yet presume they are capable to debate topics they don't even understand.
