Come on, Tex. We didn't even know about DNA till the 1950s. Darwin's theory was great from a population standpoint, but the union of his concepts with modern biological sciences has only solidified his theory of natural selection as fact.
You're responding to me as if I'm your adversary on this. Have I given my personal opinion?

I'm only noting that evolution is not as widely accepted in the public as is gravity, regardless of the advances we've made. I'm not familiar enough with the history of gravity to say whether or not it was as widely disputed in its day, but it isn't anymore. I assume you're not disputing that notion.

Thus, I'm suggesting that science has a distance yet to cross in order to gain as broad acceptance.
