Let me quote a scientist for you:

We can't be absolutely certain. Science doesn't purvey absolute truth. Science is a mechanism, a way of trying to improve your knowledge of nature. It's a system of testing your thoughts against the universe and seeing whether they match. This works not just for ordinary aspects of science, but for all of life.

My objection to fundamentalism is not that they are fundamentalists but that essentially they want me to be a fundamentalist too. Now they may say that I believe evolution is true and I want everyone to believe that evolution is true. But I don't want everyone to believe that evolution is true, I want them to study what we say about evolution and decide for themselves. Fundamentalists say they want to treat creationism on an equal basis. But they can't. It's not a science.

So, please, feel free to question evolution all you want, just back it up your objections with a few facts, evidence, and logic.

I'm well aware of what's going on in Ohio. They are indeed backing up their criticism of Evolution with scientific evidence and logic. But no matter what scientific evidence is introduced, people claim it's "disguised creationism". My question is whether you would accept any criticism against evolution, without labeling it thusly.

What exactly do you claim is being introduced into the Ohio science curriculum that is not based on facts and logic?
