Lombrozo: Sure. So I think one of the most surprising findings has to do with the relationship between understanding the basics of evolutionary theory and accepting it as our best account of the origins of human life. So most people, I think, [or] in particular scientists, tend to think that if people reject evolution and in particular evolution by natural selection, it's because they don't understand it very well; they don't really understand what the theory is telling us. But in fact, if you look at the data from psychology and education, what you find is either no correlation between accepting evolution and understanding it or very, very small correlation between those two factors, and I think that's surprising to a lot of people and in particular to educators and scientists.

Only an evo would be surprised at that, because they are so convinced that it's a matter of *proper* education.

Since, apparently, there is no correlation between understanding darwinism and believing in it, the only ways to make converts to Darwinism would be brainwashing, threats, propaganda etc. Which is of course how it is today.
