I always find it interesting when the age-old creationism versus evolution comes up. We are taught in class every day the basic principles of evolution, we apply it when trying to solve problems and yet people still are not able to accept it.
We were required to do a study for our biostatistics class, so my friend and I decided to try to compare an individuals "perceived" education and their belief. The hypothesis was that, since the graduates had been exposed to the idea of evolution for a longer period of time they might be more likely to believe in evolution. This didn't prove to be true, in fact it was equally split 50-50. It was interesting, however, that there were more people in my limited sample group that believed in evolution. Progress, at least as far as I am concerned, considering that in first year 80% of the class believed in creationism.
I am sick of the people that cringe at the word. It's a part of life, deal with it.
