Once again, you're avoiding the question. I'm starting to think that you don't want to answer it.

Are you seriously suggesting that scientists who deal with evolutionary processes don't have any opinion on evolution?

I'll ask one last time. Why do you think the scientific community has overwhelmingly accepted evolution?

Or, if you prefer, why do you think that no reputable scientific organization espouses creationism?

Have you stopped beating your wife?

Your question is loaded with assumptions that you will not let go of, and therefore precludes any meaningful answer.

You listed a whole gamut of disciplines, proclaimed them to deal with "evolutionary processes" and then demand to know why they all believe in evolution. I told you, the "evolutionary processes" you proclaim them to work with only have a tenuous connection to evolution, and the connection evolution has to their discipline is nonexistant.

I'll ask one last time. Why do you think the scientific community has overwhelmingly accepted evolution?

Because they aren't hip deep with it on a daily basis. It has no real effect on their paychecks unless they get noisy about denying it. So the cost to accept it is negligible and the cost of making it an issue is their career. Gee, you tell me.

Or, if you prefer, why do you think that no reputable scientific organization espouses creationism?

Because "God did it" is lousy science. You can't coherently describe the natural world by constantly appealing to the supernatural.
