Evolution obviously has still got plenty of its relentless work to do: <Thus it is surpassingly strange that half of Americans recently polled (2004) not only do not believe in evolution by natural selection but do not believe in evolution at all. Americans are certainly capable of belief, and with rocklike conviction if it originates in religious dogma. In evidence is the 60 percent that accept the prophecies of the Book of Revelation as truth, and yet in more evidence is the weight that faith-based positions hold in political life. Most of the religious Right opposes the teaching of evolution in public schools, either by an outright ban on the subject or, at the least, by insisting that it be treated as “only a theory” rather than a “fact.”> Rocklike is about it. Rocks are notably unimaginative, mindless, steadfast and true. One can carve one's name or face in a mountain of rocks and stand as long as the pyramids of Egypt. Evolution takes care of them. Evolution and erosion. While they sit stupidly there, immutably believing their rock-like fantasies, the world moves on. Mqurice
