What the scientific community doesn't care about is your opinion. But don't feel picked on. The biologists also don't care about the opinions of lay people who happen to agree with them, either. None of us is part of their debate, and they don't debate about the validity of the theory.
You've got it backward. What the religionists envy is the sway that the scientists hold over the discussion. The religious come to the scientists to decide how to reinterpret their scriptures.
The Catholics said goodbye to the six days of creation myth: "At the November 22, 1951, opening meeting of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Pope Pius XII declared that the Big Bang theory does not conflict with the Catholic concept of creation."
And here's the pope rejecting biblical creationism: "Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve."
But not you. You're still a biblical literalist in conflict with a world that has moved on.
Correct. Man is not descended from chimps, but they are both descendants of a common ancestor with 24 pairs of chromosomes. The Bible writers didn't know that either, so you have that in common with them.
The creationists at the Discovery Institute made similar claims, all debunked now. There don't seem to be too many claims of irreducible complexity these days as was the case in their heyday, so, hopefully, they learned something and have moved on.
