Those conclusions are accepted as valid by an overwhelming majority of the scientists who have knowledge in this area.

Hoosierb4, I respect your observations, but I think all of us have to understand that the majority of scientists have been wrong about a number of things. I can remember when they had a big ruckus over accepting the big bang theory. It sounded too much like creationism and it scared/angered them to think they may have been wrong all along. Medical science is often wrong. They can be wrong about this, also. Their case sure wasn't helped by the fraud that turned up a few months ago.
Unfortunately, there are theories that you either espouse or you get blackballed. Scientists who believe in God and divine creation are considered charlatans. Scientists who disagree with global warming are being blackballed, also.
