That is my point. Science is about truth.

The evolution crowd is also looking at science with ideology in mind. That is why there was such a stir about the fake feathered lizard. It's as if the scientists couldn't wait to validate themselves. They were not looking for answers or truth, they were looking to validate their theory.

Do you remember art classes where they taught all about how the Sistine Chapel was painted with dark colors. Historians claimed the dark colors were because of Michelangelo's "dark" childhood.

Science means, as Darwin wrote, “to give up any hypothesis, however much beloved, as soon as facts are shown to be opposed to it.”

As long as there are people caught up in ideology who work in fields of study where accuracy and truth are corner stones, we are lost.
