Evolution is a theory that is the only acceptable “scientific” theory that is acceptable in accademia.>>
No it isn’t. Almost everything in science is theory waiting to be disproven or expanded, or even just left alone. If we simply accepted things as facts then we wouldn’t have the continual expansion of scientific knowledge that we do.

Look at the reaction to “ID” even here in this discussion. If you mention “ID” you find life very difficult. Another show stopper is “Cold Fussion” or LENR. If you do not subscribe to the pathalogical “scientific” approved list of theories then you get no grants, no tenure, and no job. The point I take of the movie “Expelled” is simply that. Along about the mid 18TH century there seemed to appear this cult of personality within academia that became a huge roadblock to real advancement. You are right there is not one approved theory in science just a very few.
