Another interesting bit from the Times article discussed below:
According to surveys, 45 percent of Americans accept evolution; 45 percent reject it, the rest are undecided.
And in other industrialized countries? 80 percent -or more- typically accept evolution. In Japan its 96 percent; in Catholic and conservative Poland its 75 percent.
Indeed, two popes, Pius XII in 1950 and John Paul II in 1996, have endorsed the idea that evolution and religion can coexist
For the record, I'm undecided. But I do know that even if Darwin and his succesors are proven to be 100 percent correct nothing about Judaism that matters will have been changed.
Halacha, for example, will still be binding, won't it?
