Literally Believing in Evolution

The BBC teased religious leaders by asking them if they believed in the literal truth of the great Bible stories. I would like to ask BBC chiefs and the rest of our secular establishment if they believe in the literal truth of evolution. Evolution is an unproven theory. If what its fundamentalist supporters believe is true, fishes decided to grow lungs and legs and walk up the beach. The idea is so comically daft that only one thing explains its survival—that lonely, frightened people wanted to expel God from the Universe because they found the idea that He exists profoundly uncomfortable.

--Peter Hitchens (brother of the st Christopher Hitchens, whose very public stance was opposing faith in God. Peter, like his brother, was once an atheist, but seeing the fruit of atheism in Soviet Russia, over time became a Christian).
