So we should only listen to scientists who agree with Darwin? Your scientists right - all others wrong?

How about this simple standard for "world renown" - number of articles [peer-reviewed] 100+, including recent ones; high numbers in Citation Index; preferably [at least towards the middle of career or late in it] a position in a research university of standing or other comparable institution; this latter requirement is not obligatory, though - look at J. Philippe Rushton. He is at University of Western Ontario, but he easily fulfills the first two requirements hands down.
