“Is it perhaps because evolution does not have a scientific or logical leg to stand on,”
Evolution is full up on science.
If you’re find it illogical, you may be using an inaccurate description of evolution to analyze logically. Like throwing in abiogenesis or the Big Bang, or a strawman of either.
I mean if you start with the misunderstanding that Big Bang Theory states that everything came from nothing, or the idea that evolution is completely random, then you’re just poisoning the well irresponsibly, and your conclusions can’t count for shit.
"and that the more knowledgeable evolution adherents KNOW THAT”
Ah, so once more, evolution is a BIG CONSPIRACY. So big it’s got all biologists included. And an entire host of other specialities that either depend on the ToE are back it up.
So many conspirators that it moves from ‘a conspiracy’ to ‘the state of affairs.’ Then why bother to flog it?
“and only adhere to it because they prefer its MORAL implications?”
Evolutionary theory offers no moral implications, no more than any other science such as the speed of light propagation through a vacuum, or the ‘holes flow’ theory of electricity, or the gravitational effects of the Moon upon Earth’s tides.
Dishonest creationists insist that it’s a godless science, but all science is secular by its very nature. They’re all neutral on the subjects of gods.
So, as stated above: No.
Longer answer: Fuck no.
