Do you honestly feel that paleobiologists and their ilk, whose degrees will only earn them a living while the T[heory] o[f] E[volution] is still considered a valid scientific pursuit, and will end up flipping burgers if it is ever proven wrong, would ever publish evidence that damages their livelihood?

If anybody ever disproved evolution that person ould have so many people paying them to give speeches and things that they would become filthy rich very fast. Not to mention obscenely famous. They would definitely NOT be flipping burgers, and neither would the rest of the scientific community, disproving a theory as strong as evolution would likely open up huge research opportunities.
They have, in fact published information that has challenged previously-held models of ToE. Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man, etc. have all denounced as hoaxes. This does not invalidate ToE as a whole. The "evidence' against ToE cited by creationists is based on their misinterpretation (or deliberate misrepresentation) of the theory. People who proudly claim to have never read anything but scripture (and there are a number of folks out there that make this claim) are not quallified to debunk shit.
The problem with your statement jackass, is that the theory of evolution hasn't been and wont be proved wrong.
You and your fundy kind have been trying to disprove it since Darwin published his theory 150 years ago, and you still fail at every attempt to discredit it.
The first scientist that offers peer reviewable evidence that disproves evolution will be wealthy and famous beyond his or her wildest dreams, you dumb fucking ass.
However, that will not happen.
Oh, I dunno. Richard Dawkins is making a decent living out of Evolution:

Michael Behe was discredited in Kitzmiller vs. Dover. His name won't be spoken in reverential tones in halls of academia. And good ol' Kent Hovind? Not only a proven liar and charlatan, but doing ten in the pen for tax evasion (and getting buttsecksed by Bubba). Certainly in the case of the latter, when he's out of jail (and considering his ruined reputation, and that shiny criminal record he'll have round his neck), methinks the only job he'll be able to get will be flipping burgers.
...and no, I don't want fries with that, FearlessLeader.
Yes, because then they would be first with the new idea. That is every scientist's wet dream, stupid.
However, as the ToE is one of the strongest theories, with the most evidence in favor of it, that will not happen, not in my lifetime at least. The DNA, that wasn't even known at the time of Darwin, proves his words and predictions to be correct.

I wish. His son has kept it going and even gotten FoxTime. Many of his followers treat this incarceration as persucution of their faith, tax evasion means nothing to these people as they think Christian beliefs trump all secular or goverment laws.
I'm a Hovind addict. He's the premiere idiot that dragged me away from complanciance to loud n pissed. I studied Hovind for years as much of his shit is still available on the interwebtv and is the best course on forty year old creationist arguments available under one nutumbrella.
If anything Hovind will come out stronger, a living martyr figure. You, others and me have a lot of insane, readily debunked shit from Kent yet to come, sadly it will be the SAME shit.
I Welcome you my brother in arms against this nonsense: May you post the truth, the way to the truth and the understanding of what it is.
That's the closest to a prayer you'll get me. I offer it to Thunderfoot, Atheist experience and many related Atheist youtube sites
Confused?
