Expert Opinion on Evolution et al
This has been troubling me for awhile. I accept that many, maybe most, Americans don't believe in evolution. But what i don't know is, do they understand that there is a scientific consensus on the issue, based on observations of the external world, and simply reject it? (perhaps based on arguments of 'group-think' or indoctrination). Or is the general belief that the question is disputed in scientific circles?
Unfortunately, i seem to have immersed myself in a cloistered world of evolutionists, so i can't poll personally, but perhaps i can find enough creationists/ID'ers/whatever here to satisfy my curiousity...
For the purposes of this poll, let me define 'scientific consensus' as '95% of graduate-level educated scientists in the field agree' where 'field' can be loosely interpreted here as 'Biology'
