How can Biologists believe in the ToE?
Simple... ...It's what they were taught.
The only ones whose behavior is unethical in this respect are those who discover the truth and act to suppress it.
You really believe that scientists just blindly swallow what they are taught???
Just how stupid do you think scientists are? Would you care to suggest just how stupid I am, as a cosmologist, who has obviously just been gullible enough to swallow all the lies that have been taught me. And I, in my ignorance, have then passed on these lies to all of my students!!! Or perhaps I am one of the unethical ones, who knows the truth but prefers to conceal it, having deliberately fed lies to my students???
Or does this scientific stupidity/dishonesty only apply to biologists?
The complete arrogance and utter ignorance demonstrated in your accusation is simply astounding.

I cannot say just how stupid you are. An observant teacher would observe that some students tend to question things critically while others do not.
When the pace is such that students find themselves "cramming" before tests, they don't really have time to question everything even if they otherwise would be inclined to do so. Some students struggle enough just to get by, and don't have a lot of spare intellectual energy. If you are a teacher you should be able to make a better list than I.
I was asking about scientists - you seem to have changed tune to students now. Why is that?
A gradutae of a scientific discipline is NOT a scientist. If your opinion of scientists is based upon an observation of students, then obviously there is a huge flaw in your reasoning.
The complete arrogance and utter ignorance demonstrated in your accusation is simply astounding.
Your disproportionate response could be interpreted as incriminating.
Your swift moving of goalposts seems to be the justification of my statement...
