Not in the 'academic circles' I travel in, that's for sure.
What's funny is that I work with a bunch of engineers in the software/computer industry and no one I know believes this junk either. AND WE AREN'T EVEN BIOLOGISTS or anything close to biologists for that matter.
I'm still waiting to find someone who supports this garbage who actually knows anything about evolution (and it's not like I am any sort of expert on evolution).
EZ, you should read an essay called "Welcome to Idiot America" by Charles Pierce. (you can google it). He addresses this modern phenomenon where everyone thinks they are an expert on everything. For example, look how many people on here think their opinion on geology is as valid as scientists with DSc and Phds in geology.
