what POSITIVE evidence can you cite? Please don't try to draw me into some big argument. Remember that I have agreed with you on several things. To me the evidence is actually found in looking at evolution such as some flowers that have evolved to imitate the female of certain species of certain bugs that pollinate it in order that the male will attempt to "mate" with it.

But I'm not here to get into some big scientific debate or argument. I'm not a scientist and won't claim to be as such. I'm here to learn and do respect the beliefs and points that others make.

A 2001 Gallup Poll showed that 82% of the public believed that life developed from God-directed causes.

I am wondering why evolution has not received more acceptance, since it has been taught in public schools for more than half a century.

don't mistake me - on grounds other than science I believe that the Universe (multiverse?) has a master and designer.

in terms of the Grand Scheme Of Things I would be considered some form of creationist/IDer.

on the smaller scale, however, the naturalistic mechanisms are undeniable, and introducing mysicism into the natural sciences is folly.
