I can take evolution or leave it. I'm not a scientist so I can't prove it one way or the other. People who *are* scientists tell me that the theory has a lot going for it, so I assume that they more or less know what they're talking about.
That's true, but there *are* scientists who think that believing in evolution would also take a leap of faith. A survey a couple years back showed that 40% of US scientists believe in God (45% don't, and 15% are agnostic)...
with the developments in DNA research, biologists are no longer at the top of the "least likely to believe" list (they're replaced by the physicists), while mathematicians are still the most likely to believe.Evolution has been proven. It goes on every day. The exact mechanisms may still be up for debate, but that is not a disproof.
Tra la la. Both (creation/evolution) are 'unprovable', in the scientific sense of experimentation and observation, being historical events, so you can leap either way. :)
