You mean 'the consensus of self-serving bureaucrats supported by public funds who have to kiss up to other self-serving bureaucrats to keep the money rolling in'. The true 'professionals' get kicked out if they depart from the party line.

Ah, of course! The "my theory is being suppressed by 'mainstream science'" line, one of the classic hallmarks of cranks. No crackpot theory is complete without it!

(Of course, it never occurs to cranks that the reason for the 'suppression' is that their theory is actually wrong; in this case, way, way wrong.)

Not 'mainstream science,' but humanist philosophy. You can't keep calling evolutionism science. It's at odds with the body of fact, and supported only by deeply held belief. This isn't some marxist university; it's an open forum of sensible people who have rejected this foolishness out of hand.

The only people who accept evolutionism are the people who accept money to prop up the charade. They loke to call themselves "evolutionary biologists," but that is really a contradiction in terms.

The opinion of this Judge, which turns out to be an UCLU ‘cut and paste’, has been applauded by many freepers. Fine, but explain how the ACLU is not just a group of cranks.

Is that like the 'science is limited to natural explanations only but we pretend it can answer the supernatural question' mainstream science?
