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.
js,
thanks for responding.
The history of ideas, which interests me greatly, demonstrates just what I wrote. An example would be Helicobacter pylori.
I bear no anomosity toward you, but I hold no thought that an extensive discussion with you would yield fruit for either of us.
I wish you the best,
