Science deals with workable explanations, testable explanations that
are supported by the preponderance of data. Creationism is not testable
and is of no use as an explanation. Evolution was accepted by the vast
majority of workers in biological research, after decades of debates
with creationists, because evolutionary theory offers models that map
better onto observable reality than do creationist notions.
And your characterizations about scientific paradigms are absurd and
totally inaccurate. Scientists make their reputations by squashing old
paradigms,not worshipping them - by establishing new paradigms, not
abjuring them. You've never read a scientific journal, have you?

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
