d yankee, you'll have to be more careful about what sources you use and/or just making up numbers.
You actually think that the number of scientists who (abe removed don't) accept evolution as the only explanation we have for the form of life on earth is only around 50%? You are way off.
It is more like 99%. (I'm being generous to you of course - the nearest 3 sig figs number is 99.9 %
) ABE If you want to make engineers and just anyone a "scientist" the number if still over 9 out of 10. /ABE
Your 50% number is a bit more representative of the US public if you include those who accept evolution but think that God had a hand.
See:
Beliefs of the U.S. public about evolution and creation
You should then note that the US is particulary uneducated in this regard and the numbers are, I suspect, much different in Europe. They are here in Canada too.
I note that you still haven't applied your immense scientific knowledge to the shells in the mountains.
