I am by no means anywhere near you guys' level in this debate, but the words above ring true to me, that Darwinian evolution is just as much a religion as Christianity or Islam. This German scientist he talks of is scared of excommunication from his church. There was another point that the scientists talk about the lack of evidence behind closed doors but their "public" side denies these problems. Where is the science in that?

Arguing over the definition of theory vs speculation is a straw man. There is either evidence or not. The search continues.
