Acceptable sources would include any peer reviewed paper that even questions evolution. Go on now... find one, post the name and the journal it was published in so I can go see it.

So let me get this straight, you want a good ID supporting scientist to present a paper to all the good TOE supporter scientist types out there for peer review and the ID fellow is going to tell all these types that the emperor has no clothes and these folks who have bought into the TOE and staked their livelihood on its veracity are going to say 'what a wonderful paper you've written, let's publish it'? Sure. Who are trying to kid?

"Who are trying to kid?"

Ha! If evolution was scientifically provable as being in doubt, there would be 10 papers published everyday attacking it. Any scientist who could disprove evolution would win a nobel tomorrow, and secure their place in history alongside einstein and edison.

Look how long it took scientists to pounce on Pons and Fleischman!

Either way, you as much as agreed with me that the scientific community 100% agrees that evoltion is correct and ID is religion.

BTW, you seem to have a severe misconception on the definition of the word 'theory' in science... You focus on it as if the fact that evolution is a 'theory' somehow mitigates its authenticity. That is a very stupid assumption and dislpays a lack of even basic scientific understanding. The word 'theory' in science is not the same as 'theory' in common conversation. A 'theory' in science is on par with a 'law,' but in a larger scope. Evolution is as much fact as gravity and relativity. Strangely you have no problem with those 'theories.'

I suspect you've been told this before, yet you persist with the misconception because it appears more convincing to the other scientific illiterates who may be reading.

Why does that sound familiar?

"Those 'scientists' that won't print articles about perpetual motion machines are too invested in their 'laws of thermodynamics' to look at the truth. They can't afford to have all their precious theories thrown out the window!"

Plus, they're all bought and paid for by Big Oil.
