"Ever heard of groupthink and peer pressure !" Another 'old chestnut' pulled from your bumper bag of (mouldy) old chestnuts, Pete! What you seem to be implying is that a few (?) some (?) many (?) evolutionary biologists are really closet creationists - but they are too intimidated by "groupthink" to step out of line and 'unshackle' themselves from an "evolutionist agenda". It's all a giant conspiracy!! Evidence, please! You also like to suggest that conclusions arising out of consensus are invariably wrong. Apart from the fact that that is a gross over-generalisation, you should bear in mind that the belief that the Bible is a special book which contains the 'Word of God' and an accurate account of the origin of life on Earth is also based purely on a consensus among the religiously inclined - there is absolutely no evidence to support such beliefs. On the other hand there are vast mountains of evidence in support of current thinking on evolutionary biology - it's just that you refuse to engage with that evidence.
