For evolutionists that were christians at one time.

No one calls himself/herself an "Evolutionist." An "Atheist," "Secular Humanist," "Non-religious Humanitarian," etc., but not "Evolutionist." It's the same way that no one calls himself/herself a "Gravity-ist[sic]" - it is just a scientific fact, not a belief...sorry.

Also, since many people believe in multiple/many gods, the more correct response option would be, "Deities do not exist, and they never have."

Well what would be the point of all the evolutionary scientists (including those who are Christian) manipulating the evidence. Sure, maybe one scientist would be so attached to their hypothesis that they have problms letting go, but evolution is a well established theory.

Who said anything about "all the evolutionary scientists (including those who are Christian) manipulating the evidence"? I was merely making a comment in response to your assertion that "Scientists have no use for manipulating the evidence."

YECcie scientists are not the only ones who have been at least occasionally guilty of hiding or manipulating evidence. My point is that theories and data must continue to be probed and questioned, and we must guard against the natural temptation to allow our own personal biases and beliefs to color the evidence, experiments and research we may conduct.

And I was not attempting to disparage either Charles D. Walcott or Albert Einstein. I singled them out because their credentials and reputations are among the best of those scientists who have admitted to "manipulating the evidence"--as you phrased it.....
