You mean in the same way the Catholic church has impeded the progress of science in order to maintain control over Europe?
The problem here is that science is an open forum, conspiracies are impossible because everyone can investigate on their own.
[QUOTE][B]I simply stated that there would be lots of money in certain areas of the field as you so pointed out... [/QUOTE]

There is a grain of truth in that. Millions of dollars are spent by the petroleum industry in studying historical geology to find the next great reserve. "Evolution" has served us well so far. It keeps our cars on the road and our planes in the air.
But if you believe we are deceived you clearly have a low opinion of us. Many participants here are active scientists. They and their kind are running this show. I would not think there is anyone more qualified to comment on the validity of evolution than they.
