Ashley. You can’t see glaciers moving, continental drift, or stars orbiting around the galactic centre either. But it’s happening nevertheless.

Evolution, like glaciers moving, continental drift, or stars orbiting, happwens so slowly that it cannot be perceived in our life-times.

But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

And yes, natural selection is very much a part of the evolutionary process.

Natural selection is not evolution. Most Christians approve of natural selection because it is observable in our present world. However, evolution has never been observed nor proven, it is basically an individual’s point of view. I agree with Danyell that evolution is as much a religion as any other, even more so.

Danyell sounds like an uneducated ignorant sheep.

Danyell, re your post on October 15th, 2006 3:50 pm where you reject evolution as some kind of unproven “theory”. May I ask you;

What is your level of education?

Do you understand how radioactivity can be used to date rocks, fossils, and sedimentary layers?

Do you have any knowledge of plate tectonics?

What is your knowledge of fossils; how they are formed; and how they are dated?

Have you ever heard of a fossilised horse , rabbit , whale, or human being found in the same sedimentary layer as a seymouria, triceratops, archaeopteryx, or dimetrodon?

When you say that evolution is “not science” – what is your understanding of genetics, adaptation, and biology in general?

Do you understand the meaning of “Theory” in science as opposed to “theory” in common usage?

If not evolution – then what?

I’m quite interested in your worldview on this matter…

Well, just to be clear… I’m not American, I’m Irish and I firmly believe in evolution because it’s the only thing that makes sense, however I’m ok with you believing in something else if thats your thing.

I believe people in Europe are more grounded than in the USA simply because they a) are not as insular, b) have a much longer historical reference to call upon going right back to the birth of science itself and c) are generally more realistic / pragmatic about things in preference enthusiasm or hope.

Late response but anyway

I find it extremely hard to believe that Evolution is much more accepted in Europe (especially southern Europe, WOW!!!) than it is in America

To any southern European (such as myself) this article has propaganda written all over it

There is no possibility that 50%-75% of the people from Spain, Italy and Greece believe that Evolution is true, I cant believe you people are stupid enough to try and lie to your own people like that

Very ridiculous statistics but what else should I expect when it comes to Americans trying to push their agendas onto others

[...] As mentioned in a previous post, Americans, overwhelmingly, are believers in God, as a 2005 Gallup poll found out. Only 1 percent are sure God does not exist. Yet, ironically evolution is taught in colleges and schools like it is a fact, whereas discussion of “intelligent design” or “creationism” and God is banned. Not surprisingly about 40% of Americans believe evolution is true. Moreover, most developed nations has even higher percentage of believers of evolution.

People who don’t accept the THEORY of evolution simply do not comprehend all of its complexities. Illiterate cries for narcissism should be ingnored.

Square water melons and genetically engineered food are samples that once in a while, life is created. Not a proof, but a plausibility.
