that the biggest problem people have with not believing evolution is that they dont' understand it?
the number 1 argument that i hear from christians is "if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" i recently had a discussion with a christian friend of mine who didn't believe in evolution because in her christian school, she was taught that evolution means we came from monkeys. when i explained to her what it REALLY means, i.e. about the common ancestor and adaptation, etc. she said "oh. that makes sense. i can see that." she now fully believes in evolution (yet still believes in god and creationism) because she now understands what evolution truly means.
i honestly think one of the biggest problems is that people misuderstand evolution because they were taught incorrectly in their schools or because they were too closed-minded to listen to the real theories in the first place.
any thoughts?
