“The corruption comes from the scientific community itself. Evolution, Global Warming and other assorted promoters of “Junk Science”.”

Scientists become famous when they can show that a popular theory is wrong. Anyone who could show that the theory of evolution was wrong would be as famous as Einstein became by showing that Newton’s theory of gravitation was wrong.

It strikes me as a bit strange that you and others who criticize of the theory of evolution as a junk theory do not raise similar objections to the teaching of string theory in physics, or perhaps quantum mechanics, which even Einstein was unable to accept. It makes me suspicious that the reasons for your antipathy towards the theory of evolution has less to do with the evidence for the theory and rather more to do with the way it conflicts with what you want to believe.

I follow the data and logic where it leads. Regardless.

Quantum theory is well established. If not completely understood. Not familiar with string theory.

Are you familiar with Thomas Kuhn's book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions"?
