I live in the real world, and I've been engaged in these creation-evolution debates for the better part of the last 40 years.
I have also had the privilege of knowing and working with some of the best and most accomplished minds in their therapeutic fields, particularly in pain and cancer vaccine development research.
These evo-dweebs wash up here on FR and try to make it seem as though "those-in-the-know" in modern science have no misgivings about materialistic models. All they are really saying is that for all their talk they don't have enough experience living in the real world, or simply haven't acquired sufficient mental maturity of their own to be able to separate what is fact from fantasy.
Their insecurity is obvious. Their lips are planted squarely on Darwin's backside to the point that their mental growth is stunted and their view of life never improves, as a result. They are the ultimate Darwin suck ups, because they derive their identity, self worth, and what ever position they deceive themselves into thinking they have from what emanates from Darwinism's backside. They live among the ugly meaningless voids of their opportunistic, miserable, and pointless little existences. Some show up around here pretending to be conservatives, but their pathologically smarmy, snarky, bottom feeding bilge betrays them as the worthless, liberal, atheistic, snot-nosed agnostics they are at heart. Many are Darwin Central retreads and some are just DU plants, and newbie-trolls. None are true conservatives.
Darwinism leaves some of the most brilliant and intellectually honest scientists I've known utterly cold, and they find the whole thing leaves them intellectually empty, and unfulfilled in its purposelessness. Life scientists in health care are largely driven by purpose. The purpose of research and practice is to have meaning and meaning defines a therapeutic purpose. To design a therapeutic strategy for healing based upon models of consistency is to restore health by restoring system order. Order and randomness are mutually exclusive concepts. A healthy body is well ordered machine functioning at a top level of its performance.
It may interest you to learn that many of the esteemed scientists with whom I work confide their strong doubts about Darwinism as any kind of a credible foundational model upon which to design a therapy, because of what they observe as implying... there's that word again.... design. Life, for all intents purposes and by every credible observation simply doesn't work any other way.
I have also busted enough academic posers and incompetents in my years in the fields of healthcare and life sciences too. Not unsurprisingly they also tended to be Darwin's biggest defenders. Some are even posting on this thread right now.
As I said earlier: NONE are true conservatives.
BUT, true conservatives are ready to tear them a new one just the same.

‘Secret knowledge’ ... and only Agamemnon knows the secret handshake.
What he should be looking for is the handwriting on the wall.
