Probably true. What we want is a referendum.

As long as we are willing to apply the same logic to Global Warming, I'm in agreement. The consensus was just as much about money and power back then as it is today.

If it’s a consensus of airplane pilots then no, it doesn’t have anything to do with science. If, however it’s a consensus of scientists then yes that does pertain somewhat to science. Take oh I don’t know, say Global Warming for example; it is much like Darwin’s evolution in that it was the radical idea that nobody would believe thirty years ago. But over time as more and more evidence supported the idea it became more and more accepted. Now Global Warming and Evolution are both overwhelmingly accepted in the science community. Of course both still have their naysayers; you can go to the creationist’s museum and see the dioramas that show dinosaurs and cave men living together. Boy I sure would hate to be one of those guys that was still desperately clinging to ridiculous outmoded ideas.

 Don't forget the pictures and statistics within the Creationist Museum that also show how all the content of the Grand Canyon was deposited by one massive flood and that the Earth is only around 6,000 years old.
