Generally Evolution is only heavily criticised in the USA. As far as Europe and Oceania is concerned it is the most accepted theory of life and its origins.

I think it is criticised because religious people like to feel special and above other animals 'Man was destined for glory' or something along those lines was said by a christian member on the previous site. I guess some people don't like to be on the same page as apes...

WTF? I had a nice long post with graphs and links to the NSF's Science and Engineering Indicators and I go to post and it tells me that I posted a spam message - what a crappy deal.

Try it again. I don't know why it decided to mark it as spam, but I've turned that feature off now.

The latest version of MyBB came with a spam detector plugin. Evidently it didn't work very well...

It was probably because I had several links as well as images and it just figured it was spam. I'll see if I can post that info again later...gotta work on a research proposal.
