The Cookout

[Blackgravity]

For 10 years, the General Social Survey, a nationally representative survey of U.S. citizens, included measures of the belief that humans developed from earlier species of animals. An analysis of responses from 8,963 participants found that the belief that humans evolved from animals was associated with reduced prejudice, less racist attitudes and reduced support for discriminatory behaviors. This was true even after controlling for education level, religiosity, political beliefs, family income, and gender.

Very interesting article, I'm not sure how I feel about this because I'm not sure about evolution. There are too many questions still not answered about evolution for me to 100% take it as a fact. I would like to see the racial numbers of the people who were in this study.

do you believe in evolution?

People who reject the theory of human evolution tend to have more bigoted attitudes

I don't believe in it. To me, it is a theory. That is not to say I don't believe in some form of evolution. I just don't believe we came from apes. Do I come off as bigoted?
