More than 2/3 of Republicans Don't Believe in Evolution

[J.E.D]

Science study: Republicans struggle with evolution, Democrats struggle with the Earth going around the Sun

Question: Human beings, as we know them today, developed from earlier species of animals.

About 39 percent considered the statement false and 13 percent said that they don’t know.
The Republican and conservative refusal to recognize evolution is well known, but the extent of it may not be. As if the numbers for all adults (48 percent) aren’t depressing enough, only 28 percent of conservative Republicans believe that humans evolved from earlier species. In the next three spots are 32 percent of Republicans believing in evolution, 34 percent of conservative Democrats, and 37 percent of conservatives. (For comparison, 28 percent of fundamentalist Protestants believe in evolution, as do 27 percent of those who believe that the Bible is the literal word of God.)

At best, at the very most, human beings evolved from an earlier species of human beings. There has never been a species that evolved from another species.

Name one! What kind of a fish did your ancestors evolve from?

I am not sure about any of it, but after I go see the Peabody and Sherman movie...I am sure I will have it all figured out.

Going back about 512 million years, the first known vertebrates were a very common eel known as the conodont. They were considered the very fist species to make bone inside their bodies - vertebrates.

That would make them a great ancestor of all living vertebrates - they were very simple in design, but they were part of the lineage that gave rise to us humans.

Did they find the talking monkeys??????

Birds are believed to be descendants of theropod dinosaurs.

Archaeopteryx is sinking back into the crowd of primitive birds and feathered dinosaurs. As Ed Yong has ably explained, a fresh wave of fossils are coming to light. They reinforce the argument that paleontologists have agreed on for a couple decades now: birds evolved from a lineage of dinosaurs called theropods. But it’s less clear now how exactly Archaeopteryx fits into that evolution. It might still be closely related to the ancestors of living birds, or there might be non-flying theropods that were more closely related. Combine this with the recent discoveries of heavily feathered dinosaurs–feathered down to their feet, in fact–and the possibility emerges that dinosaurs evolved into flyers more than once. We look up in the sky today and see the results of only one of those transitions.

Got a mirror?

(Strictly speaking, "ape", but monkey is close enough when you're talking to racist tee potties.)

 

[Sunshine]

I believe that democrats evolved from apes.

 

[Katzndogz]

Name just one species that evolved from an entirely different species. Just one. If you go all the way back to single celled amoebas swimming in a biosoup, they would still be human beings, and elephants and birds, and horses. It is easier to believe that humans are the result of an alien spaceship crash landing on earth's surface than it is to believe that one species magically transforms into another species.

 

[TooTall]

No way! Most apes are a lot smarter than democrats.

Are they still around, or did all of them become liberals?

Birds are believed to be descendants of theropod dinosaurs.

Even with all the new company of feathered dinosaurs, Archaeopteryx still held an exceptional position in study of the origin of birds. It seemed to be the closest relative to living birds with an anatomy suited to flying, with traits such as long arms. In a very real sense, it was still the first bird.

Now Archaeopteryx is sinking back into the crowd of primitive birds and feathered dinosaurs. As Ed Yong has ably explained, a fresh wave of fossils are coming to light. They reinforce the argument that paleontologists have agreed on for a couple decades now: birds evolved from a lineage of dinosaurs called theropods.

I thought everyone knew that birds evolved from dinosaurs! That doesn't make the dinosaur a different species though. It makes those dinosaurs that evolved into birds an earlier version of bird not a separate species.

 

[Mad_Cabbie]

Not sure what you are saying here. Humans were probably the first animal to speak.

They are part of a very long line of evolution that goes back about 20 million years.

No, that would be incorrect. In fact you would be way off base with this.

Avian's are an entire "class" a robin would be a species. A Tyrannosaurus would be also a species, belonging to the class - Sauropsida.

Scared little rw liars are too scared to just discuss the science.

They're also entirely unqualified.

If either [MENTION=29519]Too Tall[/MENTION] or [MENTION=21954]Sunshine[/MENTION] had gotten past the 8th grade, they'd know better than to deny very basic science.
