"Gut feelings may trump good old-fashioned facts, and even religious beliefs, when it comes to accepting the theory of evolution, new research suggests."

"The whole idea behind acceptance of evolution has been the assumption that if people understood it, if they really knew it, they would see the logic and accept it," study co-author David Haury, an associate professor of education at Ohio State University, said in a statement.

We pulled one more quote from the article. We just couldnt resist.

"Haury and his colleagues figured that another unexplored factor must be at work. Previous research has shown that the human brain doesn't judge the merits of an idea solely on logic, but also on how intrinsically true the idea feels: Could this process of intuitive reasoning help explain why some people are more accepting of evolution than others?"

There is so much to be said about this study. Now they say facts are old fashion.

One thing is for sure evolutionists and atheists will explore every idea that might change a persons opinion about the theory of evolution.  

What do you think?

agreed.  It is a failed paradigm.  I just wish that we could present evolution evenly and unbiased in our schools alongside other models such as creation to show just how failed it really is.

God Bless,
