I was watching Charlie Rose the other night on PBS. He had scientists on his show, like DR.WATSON (Watson and Crick - disocvered DNA helix), all these guys talked as if the entire scientific community had already excepted evolution!
They were discussing the mapping of the human genome and all the amazing discoveries coming from it. Part of the discussing included the mapping of NEADERTHAL Dna and what was learned by comparing a hominds genetic material with that of modern humans.
"evolution gives us the entire map, and it all fits perfectly" said one MIT professor. Apparently, everything they unravel with the mapping project is perfectly consistent with evolution.

Because Evolution is the best model that explains all of the data in the best way. Of course details are still being worked out and new data is being considered every minute. That's the way that science works.

Extenisive evidence for, none against. That's a good starting point.
Every graduate student (and some professors) trying to come up with a clever refutation and none succeeding. Skepticism is part of the scientific mindset. At least, it makes for lively conversation.
The last word isn't written, and probably never will be. Still, evolution remains a robust theory despite the misguided, inciteful assaults by its opponents and the meticulous, insightful challenges by its proponenents.

I challenge your premise of "ignorant people" since it seems you choose to ignore the vast amount of evidence and logical deductions supporting evolution. By definition, this makes you ignorant.
Scientists aren't "acting" like evolution is true. The question you should ask is, "Why do people who have no idea what science is doubt reality?" You'll have all the answers you need when you figure that one out.

you have been lied to. Scientists are *no longer* forsaking evolution - each and every little bit of info we come across facilitates refine the belief. As somebody who works interior the sphere, i will say that scientists do no longer provide weight to "introduction technological awareness" tiers for 2 reasons - they are non secular in nature (and as that's been stated, technological awareness makes undesirable theology, and theology makes undesirable technological awareness), and that they are purely approximately on no account provided with tips from authorized faculties. The "steadfast and hellbound atheists" area is likewise a lie. i understand many non secular Christians, Muslims, and Jews who settle for evolution. yet you do no longer ought to take my word for it. for the reason that there are tens of 1000's of biologists and geologists engaged on evolution, in case you could record purely one hundred people who've "switched over", then i will close up. purely bear in mind that they must be a) revealed people who have been in good status interior the scientific community, and b) scientists in correct fields (i.e. biology is correct to evolution, collectively as electric powered engineering and physics are no longer).

Wow -- who else can name all the logical fallacies in this person's "question"?
You need to prove your assertion, dude. If you don't believe scientists who study this stuff for a living, why should anyone believe you'd listen to complete strangers on the internet?

You're not validating Christianity with a question like this. Maybe evolution IS true.

mapping of the Neaderthal ? I would like to see it.

But.... the entire scientific community DOES accept (not except) evolution....!

It's not an act, kiddo. They're presenting the facts. YOU can bury your head in the sand and act like you haven't heard it, but that won't stop them from disseminating the truth.

Because it is.
Put down your Bible and pick up a science book.
Quit living in the stone age and join civilization.
