"IMO, science is a lot like politics"
Fortunately it isn't. What you are thinking of is the politicising of science, not science itself. The current consensus of biologists is that that common descent is a sure thing.
You are not a scientist are you. Do you know any? Or are you just quoting some creationist website claptrap?
And creationists, as I am, will continue to doubt skewed scientific truth no matter how much evidence you present.
Umm..skewed scientific truth? How would you know?
What chaps me, is that my taxes fund scientific research attempting to disprove Christianity so they can strike the word GOD from U.S. history.
Pure codswallop.
