You didn't answer the question.

Do you receive monetary benefit by perpetuating the scam?

Not a blessed dime in the world. But then, why would you take my word for it?

You'll have to admit, the government provides a lot of funding for evolutionism

I do not so admit. I hate to tell you this, but nobody goes into science for the money. Were I to quit my job right now after nine years at the Ph.D. level, become a public school teacher (were I "qualified") and teach kids how to get by as illiterates, I would see a significant pay increase.

But assume for the moment that I am getting rich on tainted Darwin Dollars. Suppose that I am unprincipled enough to accept money to teach something I don't personally believe in. Does that change the fact that there are several well-understood mechanisms by which base pairs are added to genomes, or the fact that the proponents of creationism (who NEVER have ulterior motives; scientific rigor is always their primary consideration) lied to you about it?
