"If I claim to know something about evolution, I'm out of line, as I'm not in the field, " - this technique is also true, but let me give an example to clarify what technique I mean :
- suppose you are in the field as a recognised "evolution scientist" (i.e. so far you have been not questioning the foundations of official evolution theory). - now suppose that for some reason you change your view and start advocating that significant evolution has taken place not so long ago, say during the last 10,000 years.
The question is : why would you immediately loose your status as a recognised "evolution scientist" ?

I do not know where you got the idea that "recognized evolution scientists" believe that evolution has not gone on in the last 10,000 years, but it is dead wrong. Any biologist, or indeed any student of biology, can point to numerous examples of recent evolution.

Evolution doesn't just stop. It is going on everywhere, all around us, even as we speak.
