The reason darwinism holds so much power is because the power of the U.S. government (as well as intimidation in the scientific community) is wielded to enforce it.

Any evidence to back this wild conspiracy theory?

If we teach creationism in school, should your conspiracy theory be given "equal time" with creation?

There is hardly a scientific consensus.

A 1996 Gallup Poll held that among scientists (across all fields) that the percentage of scientists who acknowledge evolution is in the high 90-percentage range. In the biological and earth sciences, this number is almost 100%. Looks like a pretty good consensus to me.

You argue that the case for common descent is hastily drawn from DNA evidence. I might give you that this is a hasty conclusion if this was the only evidence supporting the theory. When data from the fields of paleontology, biogeography, zoological morphology and genetics all lend credence to the same conclusion, though, as they do, your perspective seems to have want for explanation.

Every hear of the 1987 ruling by the US Supreme Court - Edwards vs. Aguillard? I suggest you review it. It struck down a Louisiana law that required teaching of both evolution and creationist viewpoint side by side in public schools (sounds fair to me - let the kids decide). The court held that it failed the "Lemon test" which requires that a public religious activity is constitional only if (1)it has a predominately secular purpose (secular humanism is certainly secular but it promotes atheism!), (2)it neither inhibits nor advances religion, and (3) it creates no excessive entanglement between govt. and religion. Only problem is that the Lemon test has nothing to do with the Constitution - it is pure arbitrary law created by judges (who are not consitutionally allowed to make law). Once again, judges decide for the people regardless of what the people want. Judges make law - oligarchs in black robes.

Also, I am watching the cases in Kansas and PA - the evolutionists are apoloplectic that the boards in some communities are starting to question evolution. They also have the mainstream media on their side. Even stating that evolution is just a theory and not fact cannot be allowed! The sacred theory must be protected and enforced at all costs - and we see the atheists circling the wagons in these communities. However, the PEOPLE will ultimately decide what is taught in their schools (not a federal judge), that is, if there is anything remaining of this dying republic.
