Appreciated. For those who do not click through on that link, here is a statement from one of the sources provided on Wikipedia: "We did not wish to mislead the public into thinking that scientific issues are decided by who has the longer list of scientists!"
I certainly cannot claim that there are no scientists who, from certain persuasions, would definitely have an opinion on Evolution vs. Creation/Intelligent Design. I can also give this caution. To those of you who think that some who believe in Intelligent Design or Creation are 'ignorant', 'naive', or 'guileless' might think about others in human history who disagreed with each other.
Appreciate your reading this.
Since you mention Creationism, I want to also mention that Creationism is not the only viewpoint of those who believe in creation as described in the Bible. As a Jehovah's Witness, I feel fairly well educated about the matter*. One of the things that I have learned about the Bible, that I often hear being associated with Creationism, is that in Genesis 1, where the creative days are described, the "days" are not referring to "24-hour periods".
From Awake magazine, September 2006: "The fact is that the Hebrew word translated “day” can mean various lengths of time, not just a 24-hour period. For example, when summarizing God’s creative work, Moses refers to all six creative days as one day. (Genesis 2:4)
* No, I am not a biology professor. No I don't think that I know everything. Please do not presume so or criticize me for not knowing everything.
I like your point about the livers. could you humor me: if there was an intelligent designer or even a Creator, would it be possible that he would use similar anatomical parts for different animals?
Please don't attack me or belittle my question.
The way to deal with it is to tell the student that whether or not they accept evolution, the overwhelming majority of scientists do...
Citation please.
When some people discover the truth, they just can't understand why everybody isn't eager to hear it.
