Re: evidence and assertions
Geologists had rejected the flood model long before Darwin published the theory of evolution.
Not all only some - those that set us on the path to believing in evolution.There are lots of geologists living right now that see the rocks all the time and refute evolution.
From: Beliefs of the U.S. public about evolution and creation
quote:
According to Newsweek in 1987, "By one count there are some 700 scientists with respectable academic credentials (out of a total of 480,000 U.S. earth and life scientists) who give credence to creation-science..." That would make the support for creation science among those branches of science who deal with the earth and its life forms at least about 0.14%
I guess you think 700 out of 480,000 is 'lots.' What this does mean is that 99.9% (to three significant figures) of all US scientists that actually study life or the earth reject 'creation science.' Maybe they know something you don't, namely geological or biological science.

The more we understand particular things, the more we understand God - Spinoza
