“Evolution is junk science, at the level of global warming”

Oh really?

So I guess you’ve got some “creation science” to back up this conclusion? THAT is where you’ll find “junk science” in abundance.

I think what this article shows, is the arrogance of those who claim to be engaged in a scientific endeavor.

The authors of the piece are suggesting that the "scientific" claims made in response to these finds, are actually just a case of jumping to conclusions based on assumptions rather than evidence.

I'm not a "creationist" by any stretch, but I have long objected to that sort of scientific arrogance, especially where evolutionary theory is concerned. It so often becomes an exercise in circular logic -- X has been discovered; evolution is true so no other hypotheses can be true; therefore X must be proof of evolution.

Scientists aren't saints. Sure, they all adhere to the principle of the scientific method. Except, sometimes, in cases where their pet theories and grant money are concerned..... just like any other human, in other words.
