Unfortunately, the creationoids will declare victory and call real scientists cowards for avoiding a rigged debate.

Yes, but who cares if they declare victory? They're always declaring victory. Fools come into these threads all the time and declare that evolution is finished, it's disproved, the game is over, etc. All the time!

Nevertheless, the biotech industry hires no creationists, the creationist websites have no scientific discoveries of their own to report (other than occasional sightings of the wreck of Noah's Ark) and the scientific world goes on, ignoring creationism.

The only losers will be the kids in Kansas. But that seems to be foreordained.

Please briefly explain your understanding of the evolution of human beings. We will, I'm sure, all agree in the process of natural selection and adaptation. However, many of us have a problem believing humans descended from apes and back to some single-celled something that just randomly appeared somewhere. I'm sure you realize many of the fossils found that scientists use to link apes and humans were often a few bones found and much assumed information extrapolated from the find. Scientists certainly feel pressure to arrive at certain conclusions and thus tilt their so-called findings in that direction. Honest scientists who consider another way and branded as less expert and are derided by other scientists, which makes more scientists reluctant to explore any other theory. Until science is open to truth, things won't change.

How do YOU know? The applied science of biotech requires no faith in macroevolution.
