::: You seem to have validated my point just there mate. For one the references section is a bit of a mess, and the structure is all out of whack. More generally I see that all the articles you contribute to are pretty much all locked to stop others from contributing. The point of a wiki is to allow for a number of people and users to edit and improve articles, not just one person. [[User:Dvergne|Dvergne]] 09:20, 19 March 2013 (EDT)

== Life Sciences = Evolutionary Biology? ==
I do question the apparent assumption that these are the same thing. The statistics cited are for careers in life sciences, which the analysis equates with evolutionary biology.
The rush to careers in "glamorous" areas was sparked by Genentech and other companies striving to develop therapies based on a study of the genome. Surely such work can be performed by a devout Christian who doesn't accept evolution. I would guess that most students of "genetic engineering" don't spend much time thinking about Darwinism. (As an aside, your quote from Dr. Marc Kirschner is actually bemoaning this fact.)
Couldn't the thesis of this article be strengthened by more targeted statistics on Darwinists? Or is it likely that most students of life sciences are Evolutionists? [[User:MelH|MelH]] 13:02, 19 March 2013 (EDT)
