IF THAT WERE ALL, WE COULD WELL ARGUE THAT SCIENTISTS JUST NEED TO KEEP LOOKING! IF THEY HAVEN'T FOUND THE SOUL YET, IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T LOOKED CAREFULLY ENOUGH? Yet the life-sciences doubt the existence of soul not jùst due to lack of evidence, but rather because the very idea of soul contradicts the most fundamental principles of evolution! This contradiction is responsible for the unbridled hatred that the theory of evolution inspires among devout monotheists. So who's afraid of Charles Darwin?
According to a 2012 Gallup survey, only 15% of Americans think that Homo sapiens evolved through natural selection alone, free of all divine intervention; 32% maintain that humans may here evolved from earlier life forms in a process lasting millions of years, but (a) "g d" orchestrated this entire show; 46% believe that "G d" created humans in their current form sometime during the last 10,000 years, 'just as the Bible says? Spending 3 years in college has absulutely no impact on these views. The same survey found that among BA graduates, 46% believe in the biblical creation story, whereas only 14% think that humans evolved without any divine supervision?!
Even holders of MA & PhD degrees, 25% believe in the Bible, whereas only 29% credit natural selection alone with the creation of our species!? Though schools evidently do a very poor job teaching evolution, religious zealots still insist that it should not be taught at all!
Alternatively, they demand that children must also be taught the theory of intelligent design, according to which all organisms were created by the design of some higher intelligence (aka God). 'Teach them both theories,' say the zealots, 'and let the kids decide for themselves!' Why does the theory of evolution provoke such objections, whereas nobody seems to care about the theory of relativity or quantum mechanics? How come politicians don't ask that kids be exposed to alternative theories about matter, energy, space & time?!!! After all, Darwin's ideas seem at first sight far less threatening than the monstrosities of Einstein & Werner Heisenberg. The theory of evolution rests on the principle of the survival of the fittest, which is a clear and simple - not to say humdrum - idea. In contrast, the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics argue that you can twist time & space, that something can appear out of nothing, and that a cat can be both alive and dead at the same time. This makes a mockery of our common sense, yet nobody seeks to protect innocent. schoolchildren from these scandalous ideas! WHY?
