"50% of americans have IQ's below 100 (by definition)."
Clearly the implication here is that the reason people believe in creation is because they are not intelligent enough to *see* that evolution is *true*. It comes across pretty clearly on these threads that IF ONLY people would really learn about the ToE and understand it, they OF COURSE would be compelled to believe it because the evidence is so compelling that any person of any intelligence would have to come to that conclusion. The accusation is always that, "You don't really understand the ToE".
Of all the stuff I learned in college, the thing that inpressed me the most is that the more I learned, the more I realized we don't know. Every thing I learned just raised more questions, most of which don't have a good answer. There is a lot more speculation and conjecture in science than a lot of scientists like to admit. It isn't as hard and fast as it's put forth.
You are so right. The more you read about science, the more you realize how often the words "possibly" and "maybe" are used.
From Darwin -
"Instances could be given of similar varieties being produced from the same species under external conditions of life as different as can well be conceived; and, on the other hand, of dissimilar varieties being produced under apparently the same external conditions. Again, innumerable instances are known to every naturalist, of species keeping true, or not varying at all, although living under the most opposite climates. Such considerations as these incline me to lay less weight on the direct action of the surrounding conditions, than on a tendency to vary, due to causes of which we are quite ignorant."
Even he admits there is a lot he doesn't understand and of course weakens his theory.
