RESULTS

I. Demographic statistics

 

One hundred and fifty one evolutionary biologists answered invitations to participate in this study, a return rate of 55.7% of those on the List (Appendix II). Two of the scientists sent letters claiming that they could not accept the invitation to participate. One reasoned that “I am an anthropologist, not an evolutionary biologist.” The other scientist refused to answer because he had just published a large book that contained his views on evolution and religion: “They cannot be summarized by answering a questionnaire,” his letter stated. This left 149 participants who responded with

answers to the questionnaire (Figure 1). These answers form the data of this project. 37 participants (24.8%) used the web site to answer the questionnaire while 112 (75.2%) returned their answers by postal mail.

 

One hundred and seven questionnaires were returned with names, amounting to 71.8% of the respondents (Figure 2), which illustrates the willingness of the respondents to list their beliefs without requiring anonymity.

This is very powerful...it should be all over the news. Of course it never will be.

Of course not. The last time there was anything about the number of Atheists in the sciences was quite some years ago! And, as could have been easily predicted, in was written in favor of the minority that was still there!

 

That's fine, though. We can't count on the corporate owned media to do our work for us. Their interests are finacial and so they present news that their cash cows (read: Christians) want to see. This is where the internet comes in. Through this media we can communiacte the truth without them. Don't sit idly. Spread any news of interest as far and as wide as possible!
