No less than 6 times in the article do the authors qualify the conflict between the evolutionists and the biblical literalists as being in the US, or American, or in the country.

Through-out the rest of the world, it is an entirely different story.

No less than 6 times in the article do the authors qualify the conflict between the evolutionists and the biblical literalists as being in the US, or American, or in the country.

Through-out the rest of the world, it is an entirely different story.

It is. At least from my experience. Much of the rest of the Christian world is either Catholic or Orthodox and has no explicit problem with the theories of evolution. Popes and Patriarchs have even made pronouncements in favor of it. The protestants that do have a problem with it pass those lessons on to their children and trust their children to resolve whatever conflicts might arise in their studies of evolutionary biology.

It IS an increasing point of tension in the moslem world but there isn't much that doesn't wind them up these days. I think it gets lost on the cloud of other things that make them drool with hatred. I don't think anybody bothers with what the Buddhists think about it until they start arming themselves.
