  I agree that was quote-mining, I was not previously familiar with that particular article although I was familiar with horizontal gene transfer and its implications.

  The point I am making is not that the general principle of evolution is false, but that there is room for different views and that your insistence that it is your way or the highway is not compatible with the scientific method.

  It is one thing to argue your case which you have done very thoroughly with your series on evolution, it is an altogether different thing to say that those who do not share your conclusions cannot be honest or objective.

  your insistence that it is your way or the highway is not compatible with the scientific method - Earnest

  'My way' is the very basic claim that all species descended from other species via evolution. That much will still be an unassailable fact in 10,000 years time. The earth will still not be flat and humans will still be the descendents of common ancestors of primates.

  Everything else is detail.

  Go back and look at the poll question in the OP. Anybody who rejects this basic fact in favour of special creation is just plain wrong. In the vast majority of cases they are being misled by bad theology.
