"I very much doubt that open minds are the domain of evolutionists, certainly not in most posting here. of course they have to adapt constantly [and then claim it as a merit] but the foundations of their religious position is non negotiable, ..."

I'm not sure that I understand all of this, pete. And I certainly don't understand the bit about "evolutionists" (which I assume means evolutionary biologists) having a "religious position" (with "foundations"). Real science, you see, does not have any sort of religious foundation or agenda (leaving aside the religious convictions of individual scientists).

And being willing to revise conclusions in the light of new evidence is most definitely not a weakness - it often happens in many scientific fields. But, then, as you admitted in a previous post:

"[M]y scientific understanding is pretty limited, ..."

How can you criticise something that you don't really understand?
