Really? Creationists on HN? There are mountains of peer reviewed research articles you can read to see that evolution is real and evidence based. To claim otherwise is idiocy.

Most top scientists were deists or Christians at one point. Newton's Principia Mathematica was even written to glorify God. Clearly, neither atheists nor evolutionists found the number of people making that claim to be good enough to ignore another claim.

Scientists tell us all ideas, whether a proposal or dissent, are evaluated strictly on evidential merit. Yet, evolution as origin of life had little evidence, many flaws, was forced on people anyway, and dissenting papers aren't allowed.

If it is dogmatic, and dissent isnt allowed, it is not science at all. Just a godless religion or political domination done with scientific wording in their papers. A consensus by people who force everyone to think one way isnt a scientific consensus. A theory whose rebuttals aren't even allowed in scientific journals isnt a scientific theory.

Until alternatives are allowed, and a real debate happens, I reject macro-evolution as either the truth or even a scientific consensus. I'll throw in some example counters, most being strong, which I wasn't taught in high school or college.
