It is not generally said, but it is heavily implied, and is, in fact assumed generally by evolutionists.Now that you mention it, I should say that I've heard it said by high school science teachers as well. The folks I work with don't hold that viewpoint. They're mainly PhD's and BS'ers.
As far as the slime is concerned, would that also involve those leaving trails of pre-biotic matter in their wake?
I leave plenty of organic molecules in rest rooms, if that's what you mean. Pre-biotic is a whole another discussion that may, or may not, include prions, viruses and some other stuff that I'm not sure has been formally named yet. The term generally used around here is "crud" or "goop".

Actually, I referring to certain past and present politicians. So I wouldn't think that this applies to you, unless you happen to fit that category. :)
I've read where certain prominent evolutionists have actually stated that evolution shouldn't be taught in high school because an awful lot gets lost in the translation (I could also say the same of history, but that's another subject entirely).
Just as an aside, I'm not against the theory of evolution per se, I'm just against the evolution nuts. You know, the ones who have an absolutely fanatical devotion to evolution and refuse to acknowledge that there are holes in the theory.
Call me contrarian in nature, but I'm quite amused by the number of people who go out of their way to vilify the IDers with the same methods that they claim the creationists vilify them. Sure there are holes in the IDers position also and thus far it has proven impossible to prove creationism empirically.
But creationism doesn't require empiricism as its foundation, whereas ID and evolution do. Its just that ID brings up some possible answers to questions that are unanswerable under current evolutionary orthodoxy. To dismiss these out of hand - especially considering the widespread (and continuing) history of fraud and fudged findings in evolution - is not entirely honest.
IDers run the gamut from those who believe that a God or God-like being created the universe to those who believe that the design agent is a set of rules inherent in the very fabric of the universe. Also many IDers and even Creationists believe in evolution (I read somewhere recently that 40% of micro-biologists do believe in God).
So I admit that I enjoy very much bringing up questions like "evolution of information," "information in context," "universal constants" and the like to those who are evolutionary cultists. It's amusing to watch them try to dance around the questions without actually answering them. It is really fun tweaking the noses of the Goulds and Dawkins of this world.
