I'm not really sure what to say, except wow. One interesting note: "However, a survey of trainee teachers in the country concluded that religious belief was not a strong determinant of their acceptance of evolution".
- E-for-Endetta 13y agoI wonder why they do not accept evolution then. Any guesses? To me the single most depressing line in the whole article must be this: "40% of biology teachers agreed with the statement that “much of the scientific community doubts if evolution occurs”; and half disagreed that “modern humans are the product of evolutionary processes”."
- Nursie 13y agoSounds like the old "I'm not descended from a monkey!" thing to me.
- mhd 13y agoI wonder how they "concluded" that. Questionnaire results? Might just be the old trope of "creationism is science, not religion" they're trying to sell for ages.
- dllthomas 13y agoHopefully, they looked at the relationship between responses to "I accept evolution" and "I am religious" and did not find a strong correlation.
