Science is about following the evidence wherever it leads.

1. This is highly misleading. The label "evidence" is a conclusion.
It is applied to raw observations which can be interpreted in the
light of some theory. If the theory cannot interpret the raw
observations then they are labeled "discordant."

Please list observations concerning evolution that are labeled
discordant. Of course you won't.

Answering for Tony, who for some unexplained reason doesn't
seem to want to answer for himself:

"The fact that the proven truth of the Bible is not taken
into account in any scientific theory of evolution is
discordant. This is so obvious even you, and all the
atheists who post to t.o, whether or not they believe in a
deity, should understand it!"
