Do you think that people will accept evolutionary theory in its exact present form in 1000 years with zero modifications? Can you name any theories from 1000 years ago that are understood exactly the same way with zero modifications?
I am unsure if evolution is the best way to understand life because it is an incomplete theory, it rests on unproven elements (abiogenesis) and the nature of science is that science tends to overturn itself fairly regularly.
I don't see what is retarded about this. It is just a value system. What makes trusting in science more rational than trusting in other sources of authority?
