Re: for the lurkers
Okay, so its a scientific controversy. If it is a controversy, then it is being looked at, and people are devising experiments to settle the disagreement.
​
So there isn't any evo conspiracy here. It's just a controversy over data. Such controversies come up from time to time. I'm not seeing any cause for concern.

Re: got a relevant point?
I have no idea whether both sides are reasonable. I'm not a biologist, so I leave it to those in the area to settle the question.
​
There has always been controversy in science. And there always will be. If controversy ceases, then science will have ceased.
​
... and no creationist conspiracy exists too?
Creationists can think what they like. It is no concern of mine. It only becomes a problem when then try to force their religion into the science class.
