Far from their minds and far from reality are two different things. I have seen many animals which play with their offspring.

I think most people know deep down that we are not animals despite the dogma. At least in the US an incredible majority still believe in God and a very large minority do not beleive in evolution. Sophisticated, educated people beleive that is becasue of a lack of education. I beleive it is becasue of conscience as well as a lack of brainwashing by mainstream science in that subset of the population.
And I have seen or heard many of the comments by these "mainstream" people that you refer to that indicate to me that they understand neither science in general nor evolution via NS in specific. Besides, science is not a popularity contest.
