I am also aware of a high level of irritation though when someone questions evolution as the article points out. Indeed your response was passionate.I assume you are well informed and have carefully crosschecked each item in each of the proof sources offered but the original poster is also correct that the mention of a challenge to the conventional wisdom raises a lot of heat!

We welcome learned and thoughtful challenges. We just get testy when a bunch of religious fanatics run around touting the writings of a history professor as science. It doesn't take a lot of thought to say that since science cannot explain it all, God did it therefore all of science is wrong. Do you follow?

It seems resorting to ad hominem attack and bouts of emotional frustration is a common characteristic of those that believe in evolution. That is what a study of this thread would seem to indicate. Is this your finding as well?

No I don't follow. I don't understand why a highly trained scientist as yourself get's so passionate at my post.
