National Geographic Article on Evolution

A friend just sent me this. It' s a good article, a nice overview of Darwin and evolutionary theory and the mindset of the scientist.

It's not a polemic, but here's a quote to get your blood flowing:

According to a Gallup poll drawn from more than a thousand telephone interviews conducted in February 2001, no less than 45 percent of responding U.S. adults agreed that "God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so."

That's so sad. I thought we were smarter than that.
