Just to be clear -- are you merely slandering scientists at random, or are you actually under the impression that there's some kind of big money supporting evolution?
LOL. Well, not slander, exactly; more like pragmatism. Science programs, especially in universities, depend on money; and if a scientist were to propose a course of study into human origins, or biological development of any type, that did
not have Darwinism as its basis, you and I both know he wouldn't get a dime.
I have ascertained from numerous sources that a lot of scientists will tell their sponsors whatever they have to in order to get the funding they need for whatever program they may be running---but that doesn't necessarily mean they agree with the premise. Privately, they may admit the whole thing is a load of booshwah, but they're not about to upset the applecart. And in addition, a lot of these folks have spent many years and many dollars getting to where they are----career track, tenure, reputation, etc., etc., etc., and they are unwilling to throw that all away over a silly little thing like personal conviction.
So it's not slander, precisely; it's more like an acknowledgement that the scientists know fully well where the bear dumps in the buckwheat, and they work within the confines of the system that they are unable to change at the current time.
As for big money supporting evolution, sure it does. When was the last time you heard of the National Science Foundation or the Smithsonian Institution giving a $5 million dollar grant to a guy studying intelligent design, or panspermia, or young-earth catastrophism?
