Evolution Survey SCI 230
MED’s “Engage” Activity • True – False “Quiz” • Anonymous • Self-identify as “Raised Catholic” RC or “Not Catholic” NC • Used to gauge class BEFORE starting evolution unit
“True or False?” • According to the theory of evolution (TOE), humans descended from apes… just like the ones you can see at the Cincinnati Zoo. • The pope, and therefore the RC Church, condemns the TOE. (Desired response = “false”)
“True or False?” • It is intellectually incompatible to believe in both God and evolutionary theory. • Evolution is hotly debated in the scientific community because it is still “just a theory”. • (Desired response = “false”)
“True or False?” New! 5. I have completed Rel 103 (or its equivalent).
Student Responses • #1 (Modern Apes Humans) Most students answer “True” • #2 (Pope condemns) Most students answer “True” whether or not raised Catholic
“Evolution & Belief in God are intellectually incompatible” • Students MUCH more likely to disagree with this statement!!
“I have taken Rel 103” • 100% responded “True”
