Worthwhile to note is that objection to/rejection of the science of evolution uniformly devolves to an essentially religionist POV, and is expressed exclusively via populist, non-scientific/academic - largely vanity/self-published - out-of-the-mainstream, minority/contrarian literature, media, and websites.

While there exist within the legitimate scientific/academic community points open questions and assorted of dispute pertaining to certain particulars of the mechanics of evolution, there exists no dispute or question of the fact of evolution.

Quite simply, there is nothing in science which contradicts the Theory of Evolution, and ongoing research and discovery serve only to broaden understanding and to further confirm evolution, at all scales from the cosmologic to the sub-molecular.

Those who perceive there to be a "Problem" with evolution in fact have no science, no evidence whatsoever, in support of their specious, ill-informed, logically absurd objections, but rather they have a problem stemming from whatever religio-spiritual belief set they happen personally to embrace.

This deserves repeating.
