I watched "Darwin’s Deadly Legacy" on DVD last night.
I agree that the insult –and-run debate is unpleasant.
But I was reminded of how interesting the actual Creation/ Evolution debate truly is.
And I was struck by how obvious the connection is.
In the book “Mein Kampf” the translator used the English word “development” for the German word “evolution”, which is unfortunate.
“Noble Evolution” as Adolf H. considered it should have been used – “natural selection” is still prominent though.
“The support which I receive from Germany is my chief ground for hoping that our views will ultimately prevail” – Life and Letters of Charles Darwin Vol 2 p 270
Although the video hit on several on my top 10 “that is interesting”
… it missed these…

And the number one point of interest:
40% believe evolution - of that 40%, the majority (60% plus) do not believe the part about fish to apes
So my question of the day – what evidence would help you make the “leap of faith” that fish became apes?
