It has often and confidently been asserted, that man’s origin can never be known: Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. — Charles Darwin

Here are a couple of quotes for you:

Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Proverbs 26:12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

By the way, how confident are you in Darwinian evolution being the way everything came about? So confident that a dissenting voice might upset the whole apple cart?

As we currently see things, there would appear to be no absolute final answers in empirical science, and any scientist who deserves the name will always admit the possibility that future evidence might force the modification of current views. With that said, Darwinian evolution (with suitable additions and modifications as biologists deem necessary) is our current best idea of what our planet’s biome has undergone over the last several billion years. We’re not yet able to give a persuasive and evidentially supported account of how life first got started, but that’s what makes continued exploration interesting: there are still things to try to find out.

I am as confident in Darwin as I am in Newton as the thinker whose theories best explain the available evidence. Both have seen their work added to and modified, though not rejected outright, by new-found evidence and improved observation.

No one is closing churches. There are no SWAT teams massing outside the Discovery Institute. Flat Earthers, Young Earth creationists, UFOlogists, all are welcome to spin their hypotheses. They do not have a right to promote them in public schools.

If you want to change the scientific consensus, the place to start is in science -- in the lab, not the classroom. The push to get creationism/ID into high school biology is like trying to teach kids in driver's ed how to drive a hydrogen fuel cell car instead of focusing on building one.

Yup, the whole idea of peer review is a joke because every threat to evolution, every crticism is attacked as a “religious assault on science, theocracy, inquistion, dark ages, a threat to enlightenment, burinings at the stake”...etc.

and the only people incapable of recognizing this are the evo-cultists themselves.
