: Dr. David N. Menton, PhD in Biology from Brown university: "In conclusion, evolution is not observable, repeatable, or refutable, and thus does not qualify as either a scientific fact or theory."
Words of wisdom from a man who is convinced that the universe is 6,000 years old because his Bible tells him so. Just because he hasn't bothered to observe evolution doesn't mean it hasn't been observed. Even creationists like Behe and Denton admit that evolution is observable.
: Dr. W.R. Thompson, world renowned entomologist: "The success of Darwinism was accomplished by a decline in scientific integrity."
You've pulled this quote completely out of context. Thompson wasn't talking about Darwinism being incorrect or lacking in integrity. For the full quote go to this page.
: Dr. T.N. Tahmisian, a physiologist for the AEC: "Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con men and the story they are telling mey be the greatest hoax ever."
Care to tell us more about this mysterious Dr. Tahmisian? He is not to be found anywhere on the internet except providing this exact same quote on dozens of religious pages. Perhaps you can back up his claim by pointing out how all the evidence for evolution has been just been a great big hoax. You can start with the nearly complete "Turkana Boy" fossil. Please explain how this find is a hoax and how its finder is a con man. I'd also like to hear how all the molecular evidence is just a big hoax.
Are you really a "true scientist" as you claim, or are you only interested in apologetics?
