EVOLUTION TEACHERS FRUSTRATED CITIZENS AREN’T BUYING IT

The story, loaded with questionable information, claims “The main opposition to evolution comes from fundamentalist Christians, who are much more abundant in the US than in Europe. While Catholics, European Protestants and so-called mainstream US Protestants consider the biblical account of creation as a metaphor, fundamentalists take the Bible literally, leading them to believe that the Earth and humans were created only 6000 years ago.” The story ends with the sophomoric question “How would these people respond when told that humans and chimps share 99 per cent of their genes?”

“How would these people respond when told that humans and chimps share 99 per cent of their genes?”
