evolution poll.?

Right,

A few Q&A recently on evolution have prompted me to ask:

How many people on this site believe in Neo-Darwinian Evolution?

You don't have to post any *reasons* why you do or do not believe. I think the standard reasons are probably "taken as read" - I'm just interested, and am going to post this on both the Science and Religion fora.

I'll also post the results once this question's time is up.

    I am an evolutionist. I am also a round earther, and a heliocentrist. Evolution is supported by the empirical evidence, and that's just a plain fact.

    Oh, and bishop: if you really are a science major then that says a lot of bad things about your university. It was Christians who once said that the earth was flat. Everyone else has always know that it was round ever since Aristotle. That isn't relevant of course.

    What is relevant is that scientists can back their claims up with sound reasoning and empirical observation. The creationsits' arguments are all based on faulty logic and misinformation. It only takes an open mind to discern the difference, which you obviously don't have.

    Even Darwin said that Evolution would be proven true in the future by the billions of yet undiscovered intermediate species (missing links) that would have to exist for evolution to work.

    Update 2007: Theres a guy in China with a dremmel tool etching feathers on a lizard fossil and claiming to find the missing link from dinos to birds.

    Evolution "Scientists" have committed so many frauds trying to prove evolution. (Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man ect.)They have no credibility with me and I am not all that religious.

    For evolution to be true the missing links would have to be the overwhelming majority of the fossil record but instead they are either extremely rare or non existent.

    Of course there is evolution both individual and collective, how else is the Divine being going to experience herself as All that there Is if he is unable to evolve into every possibility.

    Creation.

    PS. The revised Darwinian Theory is actually 'Post Neo-Darwinian Evolution' the 'Neo-Darwinian Theory' is circling the drain at the moment in scientific literature due to the lack of fossil 'links' between species.

    I believe in evolution, though I havn't heard of any Neo versions. Presumably you're talking aobut the verification and evidence that has occured since his death.

    I go along with it as the best explanation of the ascent of life we have.

    Incidentally, why do so many religious people/creationists say that evolution is based on 'chance'? It's not, it's based on selection, very different from chance.

    Neo-Darwinian? Since when did Darwin become "neo"?

    I dont. But I would be willing to bet that the results of your poll of R&S show a much higher percentage of people who do than the real world. Darwinians seem to congregate here
