The theory of evolution through natural selection of genetic variation is the preeminent biological theory around the world, with or without public funding, and often in the face of initial government opposition.

The theory has won out due to the strength of its ability to explain and predict the data.

Do you think the theory of universal gravitation of mass is similarly dependent upon public funding? That if they stopped teaching it in public schools and researching it at public universities that it would “wither on the vine”?

Yes, your new world order is almost standing. All that is left is a bit of mixing miry clay with some iron.

The theory has won out due to the strength of its ability to explain and predict the data.

The theory has NOT won squat it got it divine creation at the legislating of some dressed in black robes. Time is one thing NOT on the theory's side.

But of course the TOE is completely dependent upon public funding, it is the first case of a permanent welfare class to be created in this nation. Gravity is one of those 'laws' set in motion when the heavens and earth were created and no amount of money will ever control the laws of gravity. Amazing how lofty minds attempt to compare things like apes to humankind as sameness of gravity to their own creation aptly named TOE.
