Sophistry my friend. A disagreement with TOE is not an attack on science in general. Once again, you are placing too much importance on that one concept. You also do not make a logical case for your bold assertion that having americans not holding to TOE will put us behind China. You are reasoning in circles.
Sorry, the attacks are on the scientific method, shared among hundreds of individual fields.
This is the problem; the argument is not "evolulution is wrong because..." It is "Its just a theory" or "Its not true" or "It can't be proved" or some such. That is an attack on the scientific method.
I see a grave danger in attacking science in general to try to discredit evolution.
Go back and examine some of these threads. This is what gets scientists so upset. The actual logic and facts contained in creationist's attacks on evolution are easily dismissed; the attacks on science hurt us all.
"I see a grave danger in attacking science in general to try to discredit evolution."
By those that really matter, this is not happening. Once again I submit you are over generalizing and resorting to hyperbole - although I don't think you mean to.
