A poll in 2009 showed that 51% of Americans do not believe in evolution, but rather believe that God created humans in their present form.
After centuries of study, learning to think incisively and critically, and honing the scientific method, does this 51% prove that humans have not evolved? Does it provide evidence that humans will never evolve?
I ask this because, although the details of the evolutionary process are not at all clear, the fact of it is obvious to all scientific obversation. Even the fact that humans have changed somewhat during recorded history is obvious, whether you call it evolution or not. Thinking people, as opposed to rationalizing people who only think to prove their preconceived notions, embrace one or more theories of evolution as they continue to study, learn and grow.
It’s over, folks. The non-thinking population outvote the thinking, but by a tiny bit. What can we do to help the non-thinking population “evolve”? Or have we reached a dead end?
