Hi Salty,
I am not a scientist, but this quote from your post:
Georges Cuvier, Richard Owen and Louis Agassiz were the three greatest zoologists of the nineteenth century.
Now I really do not need to be a scientist to see that this post is verging on the desperate.
You say that these zoologists denied evolution and that they were writing in the 19th century, maybe I am mistaken but hasn't science progressed a great deal in the last 100+ years?
Ths reminds me of inerrantist argument that no archaeological find has ever disproven anything in the Bible and this is usually supported by a very out of date quote by Nelson Glueck.
This may have been true, or at least appeared true, 50 or 60 years ago, but it is no longer the case, yet some people quote a very out of date source and do not read the most recent data available.
This is just a suggestion, but maybe it would be a good idea to read some of the more recent data available. I know that, as far as archaeology is concerned, that there are new finds virtually every other week, so it is probably fair to say that science has had some new discoveries in the last century that, if available to the guys you mentioned, may have changed their opinions regarding evolution.
Brian.
