"Earlier this month, a federal appeals court in Georgia heard arguments over whether a suburban Atlanta school district had the right to put stickers on biology textbooks describing evolution as a theory, not fact. A federal judge last January ordered the stickers removed."

I, as a member of the "mob", had never heard that evolution is not an explaination for the origins of life before I came to this website. All through my school years and discussions throughout my life with people whom I thought "knew better", I was presented the contention that Darwinian evolution explains macro-biology as well as micro. In school it is said to be proven fact.

In light of this, has the general public not fully understood Darwinian evolution, or has the general public been deceived into believing it to be the explaination of the origin of life?

Has the scientific community ever done anything to counteract this misunderstanding?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
