Wow, imagine that. A vibrant area of scientific study that's constantly being examined and revised by the peer review process is being examined and revised by the peer review process.

Of course, the reason you consider this to be scandalous is because there is no equivalent review process whatsoever when it comes to creationism. Accordingly, you fail to understand how it is exactly this kind of constant scientific examination that has made the theory of evolution incredibly robust and powerful tool for understanding the world around us over the last century.

Question: why is it that you often see articles about aspects of evolutionary theory being updated or re-considered, but never any similar articles about creationism?

Answer: Because creationists don't perform peer-reviewed research and creationism isn't science.

So now peer review is the criteria for whether something is *science* now?

Too bad for Newton, Kepler, Copernicus, Curie, Pasteur, Mendel, who didn't get their work peer reviewed.

Actually, you can get a good debate going on the conclusions of creation science research, as long as you base any objections to their conclusions on scripture.
