That wasn't the point I was making. Are you saying that these peer-reviewed articles are questioning the validity of the theory of evolution? Have they found something that undermines some or all of the theory and is forcing the scientific community to scrap those ideas and seek answers elsewhere?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
