The following is from a blog post by Dr. Jerry A. Coyne on his Why Evolution Is True blog. Coyne is an evolutionary biology professor at the University of Chicago and a former schoolmate (one year behind) of mine at the College of William and Mary. Suffice it to say that Coyne studied harder than I did.
Of the countries listed, only Turkey is below the USA in terms of acceptance of evolution. Relevant data, statistics, etc. can be found in Coyne's 2012 Evolution paper.
Coyne also Tweets at Evolutionistrue and has written a book, Why Evolution Is True. He's a take-no-prisoners kind of guy when it comes to that topic. Read his article about Ann Coulter and Darwin.
As Jerry might say, 'Knock yourself out.'
And he loves kitties!
"...the latest pseudoscientific incarnation of religious creationism, cleverly crafted by a new group of enthusiasts to circumvent recent legal restrictions." - Jerry A. Coyne, referring to intelligent design (2007)
Not very often you would expect to hear Ann Coulter's and Darwin's names together. At least not in a serious converstation!
