that makes two of you.
Dr. Louis Bounoure, Director of the Zoological Museum and Director of Research at the National Center of Scientific Research in France, stated that “Evolutionism is a fairy tale for grown-ups.”
Originally posted by RJHindsWell now, that is interesting. Considering there is no biological research there, only stuff like aerospace, injection combustion, emissions, environment, so I guess he must be a REAL expert on evolution.

The Systematics and Evolution department would like to become a centre for the dissemination of knowledge, and expertise in taxonomy and evolution for the whole of the international community. It already collaborates with numerous universities around the world, notably in Europe and the countries with the richest tropical biodiversity.
So it sounds like just the director has his head up his asss, the real scientists know what is going on.
I also found this:
As far as we know, Louis Bounoure never served as ["Director" nor was even] a member of the CNRS. He was a professor of biology at the University of Strasbourg. Bounoure was a Christian but did not affirm that Genesis was to be taken to the letter. He expressed his ideas in his work. He is clearly "finalist" and against all contingent visions of evolution. ["Finalism" is a philosophical term related to a belief in ultimate purpose or design behind everything, including, in this case, the evolution of the cosmos and of life. - ED.] He bases his views, among other things, on the existence of elements that are pre-adapted for their future functions.
[In my letter to the CNRS I also asked whether the quotation might not have originated with another French scientist, "Paul Lemoine," to whom the televangelist James D. Kennedy has incorrectly attributed the quotation. And here was the answer they gave to that question. -- ED.]

This is the full link. You might want to do a bit more research when you tout scientists who are what they say they are.
