"Yeah, sure. Like that's never been a point of contention around here."

I don't care what is a point of contention around here, I am more interested in what working scientists think. Among working scientists, evolution isn't a point of contention at all.

This is not correct. There are many 'working scientists' who firmly reject evolution. Out of that group, some are creationists, but many others are not.

Among those scientists who subscribe to evolution, two things must be noted:

1. By the candid admission of at least one prominent evolutionist, "There is absolutely nothing about evolution that anyone knows with certainty." This man, a distinguished scientist, put the question to a roomful of evolutionists: "Concerning evolution, what do we know for certain?" There was dead silence in the room.

The obvious point is, even the evolutionists themselves can't agree on what they "know". That means evolution does not even pass the laugh test as a valid theory, let alone established fact.

2. It is not evolution per se that is accepted among this group, but rather a prior commitment to the religious philosophy behind evolution that is common to them all. This is a group of people with a decidedly materialistic worldview, who are committed to keeping God out the picture.
