Are humans getting smaller?

According to a new study from Imperial College in London, the average human is getting shorter.

Ultimately, the relative decline in height isn’t substantial or definitive.

Similarly, biologist Richard Lenski says, “Scientific understanding requires both facts and theories that can explain those facts in a coherent manner.

Evolution is just a way to bypass the probability of there being a God.

How many scientists believe in evolution?

In the article, Brian Alters —a professor of science education then at McGill University, now at Chapman University , and then a member, now president, of NCSE’s board of directors—is quoted as saying, “While 99.9 percent of scientists accept evolution, 40 to 50 percent of college students do not accept evolution and believe it to be ‘just’ a theory.”
