I was just noted that it was curious a group who Darwin confounded would be a good example of a group excelling in the struggle to survive that he outlined. They're the least advanced and arguably most regressed on the planet, yet they're succeeding. Kind of a quirky observation, I know. It's not complete, and I don't mean it to be an argument or position. Just a goofy little thought.

I'd love to see stats on Islamic views of evolution. Compare the relative ignorance of all our fundamentalists.
My suspiscion is that the differences in views on evolution don't necessary break down between Dems and Rs, but instead fall more on religious lines. The difference between the Dems and Rs is probably attributable to more Catholics being Dems.
