If science were undergoing such a controversy, it wouldn't need creationist whack jobs setting quote-mine snares for idiots to tell it that this is going on.
Your statement would be true IF there was not so much pressure to conform to the "party line" on the theory of evolution (and other elements of the current cannon of scientific knowledge) within the academic and scientific community.
Not sure if you accessed the link at the end of my previous post but you might take a look at it. The scientist discussed there is not exactly outside the mainsteam scientific community. The article cites figures of 40% of the scientific community having religious beliefs (whatever that means.) But 40% (however large) is a minority and fear of being isolated and dismissed or debarred from research by the majority for un-PC holdings could be a pretty powerful incentive for a dissenting community to keep their collective mouths shut. So the question is:
"Is the notable lack of controversy you cite really evidence of a lack of controversy or is it evidence of an effective campaign to suppress dissenting views?"
