摘要

Most readers of this journal have grown accustomed to hearing about opposition to evolution. This opposition appears in many forms, including public opinion polls showing that most people reject evolution, biology teachers who question evolution and/or teach creationism, school boards and state legislators who promote creationism, and religious activists who condemn evolution while marketing creationism-based books, DVDs, and museums—virtually all of which claim that evolution is unfounded and, in some cases, destructive and evil. There seems to be no end to the public's opposition to the idea that is the foundation of modern biology.
