Survey Finds Most Americans Want Balanced Teaching of Evolution
(AgapePress) - A new nationwide poll commissioned by the Seattle,
Washington-based Discovery Institute indicates that the overwhelming
majority of Americans want to see both the strengths and weaknesses of
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution taught in U.S. classrooms.
The poll by Zogby International finds that 69 percent of Americans agreed
that biology teachers should teach Darwin's theory of evolution, but should
also teach students about the scientific evidence against it. Just 21
percent felt only scientific evidence supporting evolution should be taught.
Discovery Institute spokesman Casey Luskin says support for teaching both
sides of the evolution debate spans the political spectrum. "The subgroups
within the statistic of the 69 percent that favor teaching evidence for and
against evolution included 60 percent of Democrats, 69 percent of
African-American voters, and 74 percent of independent voters," he notes,
"so we definitely are seeing clear bipartisan support for this type of
policy among the public."
The definition of Darwinian evolution used for the poll consisted of three
components that incorporate "the basic tenets ... that most people were
probably taught when they were in school," Luskin explains.
"That would include common descent, obviously," the Discovery Institute
spokesman explains, "and that would also include natural selection, and also
just the basic notion of change over time -- that many of the organisms that
are alive today were possibly not the same species that existed in the
distant past."

Some of us can remember when "surveys" said
most Americans were happy with their segregated
schools and didn't want "those children" allowed
into them.

Actually, we do - that was the real reason for going after Noriega. To
replace him with our guy for when the canal was "returned" to PAnama.

As soon as their is some evidence against evolution, I'm sure science
teachers will be willing to share it with their students.
Of course, there isn't any evidence and the concept of "irreducible
complexity," while an interesting idea, is wholly unsupported by any
evidence.
The Discovery Institue, if they are interested in proving "Intelligent
Design" would have been better served putting the money spent on the poll
into research instead.
So, why didn't they? It's because DI knows full well there's nothing to
research. The DI is not about science, the DI is about faith and their
work is purely political.
Did Charles Darwin commission a poll? No. Charles Darwin sailed around the
world for 5 years, saw many things which interested and provoked him,
returned to Enlgand and thought about these things for 20 more years and
then
proposed an idea, which was embraced by many of his colleagues because it
explained so much of what they, too, had seen. As Leonard Engel put it in a
preface to "Voyage of the Beagle," things "fell into place."

Oh, come on, don't you see the advantage? Scientific testing by
poll-taking would be so much *easier* than the old-fashioned approach of
actual experimentation. We can toss out all the labs and farm out all
the work to Gallup and Zogby.

The above quip is closer to the truth than you might think. In 1955 I was
in fifth grade and that is pretty much what the St. Joseph nuns were
teaching. "God put fossils in the ground to confuse the scientists."
Didn't much believe it then, don't believe it at all now.

Anyone who accepts or proposes to accept the "creationists" or

Well, if that floats your boat, you should be delirious over
that Harris poll that shows that 27% of Americans believe in
reincarnation, 31% believe in astrology, and 51% believe in
ghosts.
And only 1% of respondants believe that they are going to hell.

Several points. First of all, this poll does *not* indicate that any
substantial part of the population wants "creation science" to be given
equal time, or even any time at all.
Secondly, the "definition of Darwinian evolution used for the poll" is
junk. Only the second of those, natural selection, is part of the
Darwinian *theory* of evolution, i.e., how evolution works. The other
two - common descent, and change over time - are facts, not theories.
Sorry - the genie isn't going back in the bottle. Evolution is a fact,
and the Darwinian theory of evolution explains much of what we observe.
"Creation science" isn't science at all.

There are.

Because it evolved over billions of years.

About 500 million years ago.

Maybe, maybe not.
Some fairly intelligent people have been slaves to their
superstitions throughout human history.
Most gave up those superstitions when the truth was discovered,
but some found their superstitions too hard to abandon.
But the fact that a lot of folks deeply and sincerely believed
that the earth was flat never made the earth flat.

There are. And also lots of fossils of human relatives. Here's a list of the
main known types. Near the bottom is a Cro Magnon fossil - essentially a
fossilised modern human.

A summary of the evidence for common descent:

How the first living things came about is still not known. What is known is
that life exists on Earth today and that the Earth was inhospitable to life
during its' formation - too hot. So either life arose here on Earth, or it
arrived from elsewhere. The job of abiogenesis research to figure out how it
arose. Either here on Earth or elsewhere.

Now don't go confusing the religious zealots with all that science
stuff. I just cannot take another day with all of them jumping up and
down with hands over their ears shouting "I hear nothing".......

Survey Finds Most Americans Want Balanced Teaching of Evolution
(AgapePress) - A new nationwide poll commissioned by the Seattle,
Washington-based Discovery Institute indicates that the overwhelming
majority of Americans want to see both the strengths and weaknesses of
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution taught in U.S. classrooms.

It is balanced. There are no weaknesses so none are taught...
