I enjoy the humor. I stand by the history of idea shifts. And sometimes it's one person who stands against his discipline. sometimes for decades before his idea, which was ridiculed, is now accepted as proven. He is an outsider, even while working to prove an idea.
Since you stand by your claim you will no doubt provide examples.
The most drastic revolutions in worldview are the Copernicn revolution, evolution, general relativity and quantum theory. All were accomplished by respected insiders.
There are lots of discoveries, such as genetics, that were ignored, but I don't think this demonstrates your assertion of a trend.
At any rate, any challenge to evolution would require a competing theory with explanatory and predictive power, and there is no such alternative.
Absolutely! And all the while, these people patiently gather more and more hard physical evidence supporting their idea until this mountain of evidence can no longer be denied.
Alas, ID has no such evidence. They must resort to attempting affirmative-action style lawsuits to get their poor pitiful little idea presented as a viable theory in schools.
