I believe the poll I'm speaking of compared the general population's belief to scientists and it stated 55% of Scientists believed in naturalistic evolution. Not every evolutionist is a Darwinist, and not every Scientist is an evolutionist. It is not as universally held as one might think was my point. Evolutionary belief is strong in the realm of science, but even within the ranks of scientists it is still theory which is being modified over and over and over again. The only thing that doesn't seem to be safe to modify is one's faith in macroevolution occuring. Everything else seems to be up for grabs.

Yes, and your point is?
Evolution is a theory, and is being changed every day as scientific evidence comes to light.
And it is as universally accepted in the scientific community as one would think.
Evolution is a theory, and has never been claimed to be otherwise.
An OVERWHELMING amount of scientists agree that it is the BEST scientific theory to explain the available evidence at this time, and if any scientist told YOU otherwise, I would question their scientific credentials.
