It's not as intuitively wrong as it is highly less preferable to me.

I don't think of the scientific community like that. I can, however, look back at the history of science and see that scientific thinkers are generally so focused on their branch of the discipline that they tend to be easily led into trusting other specialists within their general profession a bit too often for me to simply trust "the scientific community" without a bit of skepticism.

I also recognize that the funding of scientific studies mostly always eminates from a governmental source, which always results in a confrontation between the search for truth and the struggle for power. All of the most important scientific discoveries have had to in their time fight for acceptance against contrary predominant beliefs. I suppose those predominant beliefs were generally supported so well by something other than their basis in truth. I propose that the facade of truth had been purchased in exchange for the funding provided by those in search of political power.

And it's not that Common Descent necessarily negates divine intention, but it's to late in the evening to work on this more.

I'll check back in tomorrow.
