[QUOTE="Dannager, post: 35182967, member: 110277"] As well they should be. They have worked extremely hard to reach their positions, dedicating the majorities of their lives to their field and have all made significant contributions to science. No, it's most certainly a fact. Macro-evolution, otherwise known as speciation, has been observed [I]many[/I] times. That makes it a fact. Please don't attack evolutionary theory without having support. We don't really put up with it. Hardly. The above indicates to us that you've had little experience with the scientific community. Most challenges to evolutionary theory really are not worth looking into. They come from creationists who don't know the first thing about evolutionary theory in the first place, and thus aren't capable of challenging it legitimately. And science expects nothing more of you. The likelihood of 99.9% of a given field being incorrect about their most basic precepts despite over a century of rigorous testing with uniform success is so astronomically small as to be invisible. On the contrary, no such laws exist. If you feel that they do, please let us know what you think they are so that we can explain how they are not. Actually, the most fire-breathing attacks come from fundamentalist Christians with too much passion and not enough education. The scientific community's biggest mistake has been to avoid taking a hard-line stance against such ridiculous behavior. They're starting to realize that many creationists aren't above deceiving children, courts and parents in order to get their views injected into the classroom (for examples of this, please review the Dover case that took place a couple years ago).
