Sixty-six percent of adults in a USA Today/Gallup Poll* responded with “definitely” or “probably true” to the statement that “God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years”.
Of course, this explanation is not taught in science classes because it is a conclusion that is not based on science but a religious text. The pervasiveness of this erroneous viewpoint points to a fundamental confusion in the minds of many people about what science is and how it works, the areas of human experience that science can and cannot address, and a perceived conflict between the findings of science and personally held beliefs.
So just what is science and what does it do? Continued tomorrow...
