    should've been what got him fired.

    I read the paper. It really was nothing new, nothing groundbreaking. It read just like so many stories before.

    Don't get me wrong. I agree with everything he said. But really, it was just spouting off what we've read all over the place in the tech journals, anti-trust news, etc.

    The evolutionist scientific establishment has a long history of fabricating (Piltdown Man anyone?) that favors and obfuscating or outright ignoring evidence (that is considerable) that their cherised theory might be false. In the end and under the circumstances, their faith in evoulution becomes a quasi-religious belief.
