I think what we have here is groups of perfectly reasonable scientists, with perfectly logical reasoning, that come to differing conclusions based on the same evidence. There is nothing wrong with that, because since the evidence is inconclusive, it is left to the individual scientist to draw an estimated conclusion. Darwin drew his. I drew mine.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
Scientists as individuals do draw there own conclusions, but most scientists by far do consider the evidence for evolution to be conclusive. It is only a small minority of scientists directly involved with the science of the history of life and the earth who do not consider the evidence conclusive.
I do believe that what is taught in the textbooks of our schools should reflect the present views of science and the consensus of what most scientists believe. This would be true in all the sciences. It would be difficult to take into account all the different religious beliefs and objections different religions may have concerning the why and how of the existence of the universe. Religious beliefs should not dictate what is taught in the science class.
