"Evolution has become a major battleground in the culture wars"

Considering that both sides are vigorously represented here on FR, the bastion of the "Right," that statement is misleading.

BTW, how close are we to getting a final decision on this?

A decision on evolution? It's been accepted by the vast majority of scientists -- and by an even greater percentage of biologists -- for most of the last century. But just as we will always have astrologers, and flat-earth advocates, and moon-landing deniers, we will always have creationists. In the world of real scientists, there's no issue.

Botanical Society of America's Statement on Evolution. Excellent statement.
