As far as "mainstream science" goes, I'd feel a whole lot happier right now if I had reason to believe that "mainstream science" was still operating as "mainstream science."

If it's any comfort, BB, I agree that the so-called "social sciences" are virtually all hogwash. But I can't believe you have issues with astronomy, physics, chemistry, etc. (And, believe it or not, they're all consistent with evolution.)

Dear PH, I don't have issues with those disciplines -- not at all. But the reason for that is they are all "rigorous" in a way that biology is not, not even to mention the social sciences. The latter of which (I agree with you here) are mainly at the present time, mostly a CROCK...of something or other....

I just don't want to see biological science or any of its cognates fall into the same hole....

A bald assertion which you cannot back up. That science, any kind of science is consistent with evolution is ludicrous. Science is about finding repeatable, measurable order in the Universe. Evolution denies order by postulating randomness as the source of it. So evolution cannot be science and each discovery which finds order and repeatability in nature disproves it.
