Well, I don't know what to say. Except that, well, just a conspiracy theory... Bear with me. It is somewhat possible that scientists have been hiding the evidence for creationism from the public in order to push evolution to the forefront. Why? I don't know.

I think his mind works something like this:
No, it isn't.
All the scientists in the world (including all the ones who has been active for the last 200 years) are not conspiring together to fool a minute group of Christians. Plus, real scientists start with the findings and see where they lead them, not like Creationists who start with an idea and seek the evidence to prove the idea.
"I could maybe possibly have some kind of opinion on something or other, but I don't know."
Don't ya love that crystal-clear intellect?
The well-respected newspaper NZZ (Neue Zuercher Zeitung) from Switzerland had a very interesting article some days ago about the discovery of the Archaeopteryx fossil.
After the spectacular discovery, exactly the opposite happened of what "Jedi_Templar" is claiming here: A rich british creationist bought this extraordinary fossil and hid it deliberately from the public and the scientific community because he correctly recognized that this artifact will be a devastating blow to creationism.
Who is the dishonorable culprit in this true story? Evolution or Creationism?
It's also possible that scientists like to dress up in hippopotamus costumes and slap each other with fish when we're not looking. But there's no evidence for that, either.
There's also a very good reason why scientists WOULDN'T hide evidence: First off, scientists use the theories they have to improve out lives. Their methods of doing so wouldn't work if the theories they were based on were incorrect. They want their theories to be as accurate as possible. If scientists had evidence supporting creationism, they would present it, and it would be accepted. Which brings us to the second reason they wouldn't hide it: IT WOULD MAKE THEM FAMOUS! Every scientific discovery disproves something we thought we knew. The scientists who disprove current theories aren't shunned or silenced. They are lauded and given awards, they have their names in the history books, and they'll never have any trouble getting research grants again. Inversely, scientists who are discovered to be frauds are denounces and their reputations shattered. Why would any scientist jeopardize their career to prop up a false theory, especially when the benefits of disproving it are so great?
I did read a novel where the character broke into the Vatican and down inthe basement, they ahd the corpse of Jesus. One fact that would tear down the entire industry.
What in the hell would be the one thing Science hid that would prove creationism?
Confused?
