"Most scientists are lab rats and don't even know you exist. There is no agenda. They want only to see what is around the next bend in the trail (if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor)."

As I said, the agenda has to do with funding and tenure. For example, ever heard of global warming? That's an idea in search of funding if ever there were one. I have no idea whether you personally have an agenda or not, but there are many high-profile scientists who do. That should help answer your question about antipathy toward scientists.

"You are so far off I don't know where to begin."

Allow me to explain further. Human beings don't really possess the ability to be objective when they have a vested interest in an outcome. That's why people get counsel (i.e., financial counsel) from people who can remain detached and objective.

Sorry, your stuff is weak.

Global warming (the most recent time) started about 11,000-12,000 years ago.

Nothing to do with evolution. Your general antipathy to scientists is still apparent.

ps. I don't do "funding and tenure."
