The only outcome evolutionists will accept is to have its views reflected in the official curriculum at the expense of the other side.

There are too many PhDs and careers riding on evolution's monopoly. From the perspective of the evolutionists, this has less to do with "science," and is really more of a turf battle.

Except that career scientists are not protecting a collective "turf". Mostly they are competing as individuals. And what's the surest way to make a scientific career? To either introduce a new scientific theory or demolish an existing one!

Your point argues against you. If there was a valid case against evolution it would be taken up and prosecuted within the profession. You would not have what we have now with the focus almost entirely on secondary school curricula.

Don't be ______. You conspiracy theorists make me laugh. Do you seriously think those PhDs that currently support evolution are too stupid to make money using a different theory?
