Thanks for that post. The writer makes the same point (very nicely) that I have been saying - to question is not to dismiss. Any theory is only stronger if one doesn't avoid evidence that needs to be squared with what has been established. Evolution, like Global Warming, has been enamored with an untouchable status by invoking a political front that keeps scientists from doing what they should be doing - expanding knowledge through sound scientific research and let the chips fall where they may.

There is no competing evidence. There are claims and religious beliefs, but no scientific evidence to contradict the theory of evolution has been brought forth. It would certainly have received a proper hearing if it had (religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence).
