Surely there was more to the article? I mean, how can anyone dispute that things change....look at dog breeding?? I thought surely I missed something in the article

"Sixty percent of Americans say that "humans and other living things have evolved over time," the telephone survey by the Pew Research Center's Religion and Public Life Project showed.
But 33 percent reject the idea of evolution, saying that "humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time," Pew said in a statement."
So, yes, there are people who believe that life has always been the same and people try to cite things like Noah's Arc. Dog breeding and "things changing" are not automatically considered evolution if people have another explanation for breeding and changes. Therefore, evolution is clearly defined and the "debate" is regarding three things: (1) whether there has really been the changes in species as claimed; (2) if there have been changes, how did the changes occur; and (3) is it possible to believe science and the spiritual realm work together. I believe in evolution and that life has evolved and that God and science go hand-in-hand. I also believe that while there is evidence of evolution, it is impossible for humans to 100% prove either side of the science vs. God debate. The article AOII Angel posted highlights how this issue is rooted in an either/or mentality.
