drop-outs who continue to question evolution?
The problem is that evolution cannot be demonstrated making simple
stuff into complex stuff before the eyes of observers and cameras.
Sure it can...you just need a long time-lapse.
If auto-mechanics, lawyers, financial advisors, and marketers have an
agenda such that they manipulate pre-selected details to make grand
claims, then it makes sense to assume scientists do also. The average
person asks, "Why should I trust scientists over other professions"?
Because of the peer-review and research-repeatability process. If your
results don't pass these tests, they might get published here:

How is one to be assured that a scientist does not also have an agenda
to "sell" something?
They do. But other scientists have different agendas and will catch
them in any lies and/or errors sooner or later.
