Without evidence to support them, there are no "dissenting theories" after all.

That is not true; because there is not a 100% concensus on everything evolution, there is dissenting theories/ideas/beliefs, regarding various aspects of evolution.

There are no dissenting theories. Perhaps you are unaware of the meaning of the word "theory"? Hint: it requires evidence.

Of course. There are always dissenting beliefs. But until those beliefs can be expresses in scientific terms, until they can become hypotheses, they don't count. That's the way science works - not all notions are equal.

Once again, where are "the HUNDREDS of names/links to various scientists' dissenting opinions and studies, posted on FR on what must be thousands of posts and on a multitude of threads, which put forth dissenting theories/opinions/arguments/conclusions" that don't rely on creationism or pseudo-science?

I did do a search on the subject of scientific journals refusing to publish counter-evolutionary articles...lots of things did come up, way too many for me to read now, what with the Thanksgiving rush coming upon us(at least for me)...so will have to leave reading these articles until a later date....just had time to skim through some of these articles...

Some articles just appear to be on different blogs, and give no real evidence of specific cases where counter-evolutionary articles were refused publication, rather it was just some posters opinion...however there was one article which discussed this, saying that the counter-evolutionary articles were not published, because there were no scientific evidence presented with the article...it intimated that where as the evolutionists were required to provide scientific evidence of everything they said, the counter-evolutionists did not feel it was required of them to produce the same amt of scientific evidence...which does seem as an appropriate reason for not publishing a particular counter-evolutionary article...

Scientific evidence does seem to be the basis for deciding which articles to print...

I am sure, tho, as I research these articles, I will find other differing opinions...but its not opinions that I am after, I would like to see the evidence...
