Evolution...new poll
51% of Americans don't believe in it seemingly, which I found surprising.

Re: Evolution...new poll
And God said unto Adam "Give me one of your legs, an arm, four fingers and a thumb, an ear, your tongue and a testicle and I will give to you a companion. A companion so fair and beautiful to gaze upon. A companion that will answer and attend your EVERY 
desire. A companion so true and loyal and faithful only to you. A companion called "Woman" that will NEVER disobey or have a angry word with you. A companion that you will laugh, love and live with for infinity.
Adam thought
"What do I get for just one rib"? he asked
the rest is history

Re: Evolution...new poll
Used to be strict evolutionist than changed my tune after I worked on my MD and saw how complex and well designed the human body is... even the professors couldn't help but use the word "design" constantly through the lectures... 
Seems to be a trend toward ID lately among the scientists and my colleagues, though pure darwinism is still dominant among my colleagues, ID seems to be really growing...
Here's a cool web site on ID:
