Many make the assertion that evolution must be true because all scientists believe in it. There are, by the way, many thousands of scientists who do not believe in evolution! But in examining whether evolution is true or not, even scientists who fully endorse evolution admit that there are scientific problems, sociological flaws, and hidden agendas in their evolution claims. Here are quotes from just a few scientists who push evolution in spite of its many unsubstantiated proclamations.

Evolution is not a fact. Evolution doesn’t even qualify as a theory or as a hypothesis. It is a metaphysical research program, and it is not really testable science”1 (Popper).

I suppose the reason why we leapt at the Origin of Species was that the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores.”2 (Huxley).

Evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideology, as secular religion—a full-fledged alternative to Christianity, with meaning and morality. I am an ardent evolutionist and an ex-Christian, but I must admit that in this one complaintand Mr. Gish is but one of many to make it—the literalists are absolutely right. Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today”3 (Ruse).

Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it only because the only alternative is special creation, and that is unthinkable”4 (Sir Arthur Keith).
