I think I can justify my core belief. Can the evolutionist or the
theistic evolutionist justify his/her core belief?

you are only half right. creationists do have a core belief in which
they interpret all facts. scientists simply draw logical inferences
from the facts themselves. there is no core belief that scientists
adhere too when looking at facts. scientists only draw conclusions
that the facts themselves warrant.

This is bordering on propaganda.

There are clearly a number of selection effects such as
wanting to prove your own theory correct, be socially
accepted by relevant peers, and any number of other
biases present in prioritizing and funding projects.

In the development of new drugs, it's built right into the
methodology that scientists can't be impartial.

it just so happens that no facts
warrant the conclusion that any gods exist. too bad for gods.

Scientists can't agree on whether Pluto is a planet or not,
but they can be completely rational as to whether or not
god[s] exist. Okay. . .
