All of the evidence supports the truth. None can be ignored, and all interpretations of the evidence must be recognized for exactly what they are, or we have abandoned science and adopted ideology.

The modern creationist talking points that "all interpretations of the evidence must be recognized for exactly what they are" and "we agree on the data, we just have a different interpretation" are additional attempts to defeat the theory of evolution without knowing anything about the theory of evolution.

In science, not all interpretations are of equal merit. First, there are hypotheses, theories, and laws. There are guesses and educated guesses. The phlogiston theory of chemistry is discredited, and astrology never made the grade as a theory.

In a similar vein, creation "science" and its offspring ID have both failed at their attempts to mimic science while peddling pure religion. The "different interpretation" attempt we are seeing more of lately is also failing.

The modern creationist talking points...

I didn't know that these were talking points, I was simply stating what I consider to be some obvious absolutes. However, if the merit of an interpretation is based primarily on a consensus of an ideology, i.e. creationism, evolutionism, whateverism; it is not science. Any fool can plainly see that. ;o)
