A new Gallup poll shows that more than half of Americans reject evolution
. 31% believe that man evolved and God guided it, and only 12% believe that evolution just happened without anyone at the wheel.
A big shout out to the 12%.
In fact, I think that needs to be a t-shirt. A big “12%,” maybe with a subtitle about being proud of evolution. Would anyone else wear that?
BBC News is reporting on new curriculum guidelines that will require biology teachers to address the creationist perspective in a unit on fossilization.
The exam board that issued the new syllabus insists that they’re not teaching it as a scientific theory. If it’s not a scientific theory, why would it be a required topic for a science class? *sigh*
Score one for transitional forms. What do you get when you’re halfway between a fish and a crocodile? Sadly, you don’t get the awesome croco-shark (sharkodile), but you do get a really interesting fossil, that helps illustrate the evolution of early tetrapods.
A Canadian Professor was denied a government research grant, after the agency that distributes the money decided that the applicant hadn’t provided sufficient information to “prove” evolution.
The twist is, he was asking for money to study how recent public fights over evolution in the US have eroded support for evolutionary science in Canada.
*sigh*
The results of a new study reveal the “genetic underpinnings” of cooperative and altruistic behavior in vertebrates.
Next time you’re at the bar/pub/dive, be sure to buy your wingman a drink.
