“They believe it because it was peer reviewed, simple as that.

The whole point to my posts is simply to show that human evolution is nothing more than faith, the exact same thing scientist accuse creationists of believing.”

No, peer review does not equal faith. Peer review simply ensures a scientific process is followed to support the conclusions made. Sometimes it’s objective (does the math add up) sometimes it’s conjecture supported with some other objective information, and sometimes it’s unsupported hypothesis (guesses) that open the door for further research to bring some objectivity to the process. Nobody that truly understands the scientific process believes it represents “truth”, rather it represents the closest thing to scientific proof that we can get. Occasionally, fundamental elements are found to differ - and that results in a whole new round of the scientific process.

It’s not good, it’s not bad, it’s just the way it’s done and it should be dispassionate. It can be subject to group-think, but generally, science has enough hard-headed folks that group-think is short-lived as it affects the body of scientific knowledge.

Only faith is faith. Those that use faith to disprove science (or science to disprove faith) do not understand either and should probably refrain from opening their pie-hole.

You're using canned answers, I never said anything about disproving science by faith. I'm telling you that science has been hijacked by religious nuts that believe in human evolution. They are on a mission to prove that God does not exist, human evolution is simply a tool to bring that about. By faith they say humans evolved, but they have no proof, have no test results, and have no science. They are a faith based religion that forced their way in and they don't give a hoot about real science.
