"You'd think that if there was contradictory evidence, scientists (who are as interested in fame as anyone) would be falling all over themselves to present it. But they aren't."

The only scientists who aren't presenting it are the liberal ones who want to get rid of God... Liberalism doesn't stop at the political arena. There is no evidence for macro-evolution, no proof exists, so there! Look at all the previous threads. I just don't have the energy to argue this all over again... You're wrong, that's about it.

This is interesting:

Evolution is anti-creation

It almost goes without saying that evolution is anti-creation. Darwin was opposed to all forms of creation (Gillespie, 1979, pp.xi, 3, 19-20, 39), even theistic evolution (Bowler, 1990, pp.158-161). In his Origin of Species Darwin mentioned "creation" or its cognates over 100 times, mostly pejoratively (Jones, 2002). Neo- Darwinism's co-founder Julian Huxley expressed the consensus of the scientific establishment when he declared that evolution and creation were mutually exclusive: "The earth was not created, it evolved. So did all the animals and plants that inhabit it, including our human selves, mind and soul as well as brain and body. So did religion" (Huxley, 1960, pp.iii:252-253).

Dictionaries of biology (Abercrombie, et al., 1990, pp.194-195; Hale & Margham, 1988, p.214; Tootill, 1981, p.108), science (Isaacs, Daintith & Martin, 1991, pp.183, 251-252; Lafferty & Rowe, 1996, p.222) and philosophy (Vesey & Foulkes, 1990, p.108), define "evolution" as being opposed to creation. Leading biology textbooks usually commence their section on evolution with an attack on creation (e.g. Campbell, Reece & Mitchell, 1999, pp.415-417; Mader, 1990, pp.281-283; Raven & Johnson, 1995, pp.7-8; Keeton, Gould & Gould, 1986, pp.12-13; Knox, Ladiges & Evans, p.707; Solomon et al., 1993, p.390; Starr & Taggart, 1998, pp.16, 270-275). Leading evolutionary biology textbooks also usually contain an attack on creation (Dobzhansky, et al., pp.9, 349; Futuyma, 1986, pp.3,15; Ridley, 1996a, pp.41,65-66; Strickberger, 2000, pp.5ff, 53ff).

Evolutionists have also written many books attacking creation in defence of evolution (e.g. Berra 1990; Ecker, 1990; Eldredge, 1982; 2000; Futuyma, 1983; Gallant, 1975; Godfrey, 1983; Kitcher, 1982; McGowan, 1983; Montagu, 1984; Newell, 1982; Pennock, 1999; Plimer, 1994; Price, 1990; Selkirk & Burrows, 1988; Strahler, 1999; Wilson & Dolphin, 1983; Young, 1985; Zetterberg, 1983).

Evolution is so anti-creation, that leading evolutionists have admitted that even if creation was true, it could not be accepted by them as science (Eldredge, 1982, p.134; Ruse M., 1982, pp.322-323; Futuyma, 1983, p.169; Ruse, 1996, p.301; Pennock, 1999, p.283; Ratzsch, 1996, p.168). Which means that evolutionists would rather evolution be naturalistic and false than supernaturalistic and true! [top]

A succinct summation of the entirety of the arguement in favor of Creationism.
