And of course if you don't buy evolution, you are a luddite. I don't want to fight the same battles, but I get so tired of the you are not intellectually sophistocated if you don't buy evolution crowd. I have 7+ yrs of post college education, call me anything else, but don't call me a luddite.

Hey, you should have no problem filling out the questionnaire in post 392! Since Ann is correct, and she says there are no transitionals, we all need some guidance on all these hominid skulls that we're having problems classifying. Which ones are just old apes and which ones are just old humans?

7+ yrs

Education does wonders. If we are to say that a medical education makes one more 'sophisticated' then lest look at the numbers:

When asked whether they agree more with intelligent design or evolution, an overwhelming majority of Jewish doctors (88%) and more than half of Catholic doctors (60%) said they agree more with evolution, while slightly more than half of Protestants (54%) agree more with intelligent design. A majority of Catholic doctors (67%) agree with the statement that God initiated and guided an evolutionary process that has led to current human beings, while 11% believe that "God created humans exactly as they appear now." By contrast, less than half of Protestant doctors (46%) believe that God initiated and guided an evolutionary process, while 35% believe that God created humans as they appear now. The majority of Jewish doctors (65%) agree more with the statement that "humans evolved naturally with no supernatural involvement."

The majority of all doctors (78%) accept evolution rather than reject it and, of those, Jews are most positive (94%), Catholics are next (86%) followed by Protestants (59%)

If you "don't buy" evolution because you hold a comic-book view of what it actually entails, then yes, you are a luddite.

So tell me, exactly why don't you "buy" evolution? Be specific. I can almost guarrantee just about any view you hold of it is based upon faulty knowledge.
