Apparently, 81% of US adults now believe that humans evolved. I´m old enough to remember when it was more like 50%. The two articles linked below are from the website of Answers in Genesis (AiG), still trying to promote their super-Biblical brand of young earth creationism. I almost feel sorry for these guys.
In the first article, the AiG actually complains about the low level of science education in the United States (!!), claiming that this somehow makes it easier for various dangerous heretics to seduce "the man in the pew". Note the curious fact that the fundamentalists (usually identified with precisely the uneducated men and women in the pews) claim that ordinary church goers are potentially more "liberal" than the educated creationist elite. Something has clearly changed the last 30 years or so.
The second article is the introduction to AiG´s entire series against something they dub "Young Earth evolutionists", which apparently includes Kurt Wise. Yes, *that* Kurt Wise! Note the bizarrely strident tone, bordering on cultic paranoia. Here we must stand, huh?
I blogged about this before. See the third link below, in which it transpires that *Answers in Genesis themselves* are guilty of some of the heresies they accuse their opponents of. I can´t even...
Can creationists accept evolution?
