"I think that learning about evolution in science class conflicts with my
religious perspective," says Matt. "How can I believe that God designed
human beings, and also believe in the concept of evolution? I need to
choose one or the other."
"Many Americans disagree with you, Matt," says Professor Seemy. "They
would say that belief in God doesn't conflict at all with belief in
evolution. A lot of people who believe in evolution, including scientists,
also think that God played an important part in creating human beings.
They believe that God started the process of evolution, or guided
evolution as it happened."
"That's an interesting perspective to think about," Matt says, "but how do
you know that 'many Americans' really disagree with me?"
"That's a great question, Matt. In science, we should support our opinions
with evidence. Let's look at some data!" says Professor Seemy.
