What is the explanation these folks have for why the theory of evolution has essentially stagnated since Darwin's time with any scientists who dare to question some of the sillier premises like the "tree of life" being marginalized as religious zealots, even if they aren't religious at all? Just wondering.

The The Tree of Life isn't a premise; it's a conclusion, based on the evidence, that all life is related by common descent. Let's hear how you would arrange that evidence to support a different conclusion. We're very open-minded around here. I'd like to know your views. Just wondering.

The theory hasn't stagnated, thus no explanation would be helpful.
