I also think that, in reality, you'll find very few scientists that think evolutionary theory is a sham.

I think this is not Dan's point. Nor is it the agenda of any scientist. It's hard to prove a negative, and as it turns out it's also hard to prove a positive. Fact is, notwithstanding Moses' likely correct assertion, the theory that humans evolved from apes by naturally occurring genetic mutations is hardly proven. What we've got is inferential evidence that, at first glance, appears substantially convincing. But any scientist will quickly accept the observation that "science" has been convinced of many things (conclusions) over the years, that upon further reflection were incorrect. Consistent with the inferential evidence at the time, but not consistent with data subsequently gathered. This is why most scientists are slow to draw conclusions that go beyond the evidence, which is what people do when they assert that humans evolved from apes. Dan is correct. There are many objectibve scientists who are rasing questions about the evolution theory. And rightly so. That's what real scientists do.
