Evolution has become increasingly a dogma even though evidence continues to accumulate that suggests that the existing theory is not sufficient to explain what is being observed. I think that current evolutionary theory is one that purposely confuses microevolution minor adaptations and a normal range of genetic variations with macroevolution which is the total transformation of a creature in form and function. Modern Evolutionary theory does produce a lot of wonderful untestable stories and drawings of ancestors re-imagined from a handful of bones. I believe in adaptation but I do not believe natural selection is the primary driver of exceedingly complex genetic change nor do I believe there is any adequate explanation for the origin of life.
So much of what is accepted evolutionary science is really an illusion crafted to suggest things not supported by empirical data. I believe that current evolutionary theory is vastly oversimplified and would be considered ridiculous if the simple picture was not so appealing as was the classical model of Newtonian physics before it was found to be insufficient.
Uh huh...
Evolution is one of the best supported scientific theories. Diverse fields of science such as geology support the basic concepts of evolution. Findings made long after the theory of natural selection was proposed are remarkable in that they support, rather than refute the theory.

Excellent points. One of the reasons that evolution is political is that it is taught in public schools as fact. (Or at least it was when I ws in school.) Our tax dollars go to funding this whether we like it or not.
