There are many answers.

Most scientists are liberals who support our opponents. Some are inclined to applaud anyone who fights with them, even if they personally think the fight is stupid.

The best defense is a good offense. By tying up liberal lawyers defending against our lawsuits, they will not have the time or money to bring lawsuits against us.

We are a free country, so there is no official truth. Whatever the voters want to believe, that is what should be taught in the public schools.

The Darwinian model is unsophisticated, and predates our knowledge of how DNA works. If the brain can think, why can't the cell nucleus be said to think? We could generate a computer nodel of DNA, and test the theory of evolution in a simulation.

Why should all those subatomic particles obey the laws arbitrary sets of mathemathical formulae? It must be that at the subatomic level, matter is permeated and intermingled with the Divine Logos. Kai su, Plotine?

I'd like to hear you back up that statement with some facts. Most of the scientists I know, including myself, are decidedly not liberal. Most people who think rationally tend to be conservatives and that includes most scientists. When it comes to evolution, the same principle applies. It's logical and supported by evidence. Being a conservative does not imply you are a conservative, although both do share certain principles.

If this is so in the US--and I cannot say that it isn't so--then the situation is indeed different there. I do not doubt that in the UK the preponderance of scientists are of a conservative inclination, at least within the classic disciplines (chemisty, physics, biology) rather than the "social" sciences. I'll try and run down a source for my assertion here and post it--I'm sure polls of voting intention by career have been published, let me see what I can find

So majority vote determines reality?

"Most scientists are liberals who support our opponents"
I have to respectfully disagree. We have many friends and family members who are scientists and they are deeply religious Christians. There is no conflict. The more evolved the scientist, the more likely they are to have strong faith.
