Tell you what. Let's do a little comparison. You count the number of scientists who reject evolution, have a degree in the biological sciences, and whose first name is Steve (or a derivation thereof, such as Estaban or Stephanie). I will do the same for the number of scientists who do accept evolution as the best explanation for biodiveristy in biology
Like these guys you mean:
Stephen J. Anderson*****

Ph.D., Political Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Stephen Robert Anderson
Professor of Linguistics and Cognitive Science, Yale University
Ph.D., Linguistics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Steve Avons******

Ph.D., Psychology, University of Stirling
Stephen Azevedo*

Ph.D., Electrical Engineering and Computing Science, University of California, Davis
Steve Beech******

Do linguists spend a lot of time learning Darwinian evolution? How about metallurgists?
What a piece of work you guys are.
I see the lying hasn't abated one bit here at the phony EvC site.

why?
Why is evolution so controversial?
Personally, I think it has to do with the religious fanaticism of its adherents:
Percy wrote:
--Faith, there's no need to keep repeating incredibly ignorant comments again and again. There's a way you could protect yourself against potential future commissions of stupidity: learn something.
--You are a very strange person.
--This is more knowledge that you've rejected, but strangely your displays of idiocy have no impact on the facts.
--By what delusional mental episodes do you reach such absurd conclusions?
--You've got this unbelievable talent for disbelieving the most obvious of facts. No wonder you don't know anything.
--Views like yours can only exist in a vacuum of ignorance. Your views ignore scores of simple facts. They not only deserve scorn, such overt and determined ignorance invites it.
--You're as dishonest and obvious as a used car dealer.
--Display some integrity for once.
--Well, this is just incredibly vapid.
--You are truly daft.
--Your ideas are full of impossibilities, your ignorance is on a vast scale, and your determination to maintain that ignorance seems to know no bounds.
--You do have this tendency to get uppity whenever someone reminds you of what you've said in other threads.
--Have you been drinking?
--Again, have you been drinking?
