@benthemiester It's titled as it is because there are some very silly people out there who can't reconcile their religious views with science. Biologists are constantly fighting a rearguard action against creationist/"intelligent design" insurgents trying to overthrow it through capitalizing on the credulity and ignorance of voters, rather than through any scientific basis.

I love the presentational honesty between what is known, what is reasonably known, and what is a hypothesis that is still being developed. Not only that, but Coyne's candid (but ultimately irrelevant) breaches into other speacialties speak very well of his honesty. AAIC 09, I hope to be there

@FirelionGuate Knowing French, Italian, and Spanish is like knowing English and English with a southern accent. Stick with your own language and maybe we'd have a reason to learn it.

@MultiUniv3rsal gracias, grazzias! merci beaucoup! how many languages do you know! I know three! I learned english in three years. You call that evolution?

@FirelionGuate:

By evoluted, I presume you mean evolved. Evolute is to do with curvatures. The fact that you don't know the word evolved means to me that, before bashing evolution, you should learn something about it.. Lesson 1: THERE ARE "IN BETWEENS". Look it up. There is more than enough proof. Read Jerry Coyne's book. It's excellent.
