PP: There are more scientists who adhere to the theory of evolution named "Steve" than there are scientists who do not adhere to it. Since not all scientists are named "Steve", I guess they must outnumber your scientists. Oh, one other thing, most of your scientists who like to attack evolution (without foundation) are not in the biological sciences.

Without foundation? You mean physicists, mathematicians, astronomers, cosmologists, even botanists, who are not afraid they will not gain tenure if they scoff at a "scientific," theory that has no mathematical description. If you are in the life sciences in any western university and you do not squawk "evolution is a fact," "evolution is a fact," like a deranged parrot, see if you get tenure!

Only biological scientists are concerned with the TOE. Other scientists discoveries have confirmed the TOE, but fields like geology are really not that interested, except in the history of the geology.

Paleontology is a biological science that draws on geology.

But your assertion that every has to believe in biological evolution is only true so far as to be considered sane and rational, one must. I would be leery of hiring anyone that was so divorced from reality they thought Noah could get millions of animals on a boat, feed them, shovel out their waste and care for them (including their diseases and parasites) over the period of a year. I think I could find a better employee with a more stable mental state.
