Clearly I overstated my case, and you were kind enough to provide additional examples of where the scientific community deceived itself and others. It would bear some research to learn the manner and degree to which fraud is perpetrated, welcomed, widely published, and sluggishly retracted in scientific circles, and see how adherents to the philosophy of evolution have performed.
The philosophy of evolution, however, is not a science, so its adherents should be granted more leeway when they interpret the evidence and present their notion as to how the history of the universe has run its course.
