To: Right Wing Professor; Puppage
Puppage: Is there [as] much controversy about Napoleon as there is about evolution?

RWP: In the scientific community, about as much.

Now, this is just a swag on my part (oops, please excuse me - let's make that a "wag"), but I would estimate that the ratio of those in the science community who have reservations re: evolution is about the same as those in the MSM who have reservations about liberalism.

Mind you, I'm NOT suggesting that there is any pressure exerted or exclusionary tactics - no no no; not me. I am confident that both groups of professionals "evolved" to their present state (naturally).

You're really depressed about the MSM then? :-)

Scientists are more elitist and exclusionary than almost any other group. If you don't understand the basic theory of a field, we exclude you from that field.
