...speaker at the initial service at Hancock Hall attacked Nietzsche, Freud and Darwin. "They did not have the way," she contended, citing the joyless lives they lived. She pointed to Christ as the alternative...

Polls consistently show that nearly half of all Americans reject Darwin's theory of evolution. They prefer to believe, against all scientific evidence, the Old Testament account of how God created the world in seven days...
YOUR ARTICLE WAS A REFRESHING LOOK at the new discoveries related to evolution [COVER STORY, Dec. 4]. Darwin's theory is regarded by many as the best explanation of the evolution of life on this planet and is not questioned by most people.

These are legitimate possibilities, presented by the explosion of biological diversity, that do not fit nicely into Darwin's theory. I had studied them...
...REALLY TAKES A WRITER WITH IMAGInation to be able to describe the blow to the current theories of evolution as crossing "a critical threshold." All the phyla of Earth "appear" so suddenly that this is called an "explosion." Darwin himself would have been blown away. But Canadian paleontologist Guy Narbonne absorbs this gigantic problem by saying, "...there also seems to be a non-Darwinian kind of evolution that functions over extremely short time periods--and that's where all the action is."
