the AAAS has a political interest in promoting darwinism

This political interest wouldn't influence the reports and findings in, let's say, Science magazine, would it?

Or, what wasn't reported?

Or, how easy it would be to dissent from the "proven" worldview?

Naah...

This political interest wouldn't influence the reports and findings in, let's say, Science magazine, would it?

Of course it would. There's more info about AAAS and related activities in this article.

Or, how easy it would be to dissent from the "proven" worldview?

About as easy as it would be to dissent from a marxist world view in a soviet peer-reviewed journal.
