Do you hear scientists/athiests complaining that there are about a million Holy Bible apps? No. At least not that I've heard of. I live in the UK, and it still baffles me how so many people can believe something that seems utterly illogical to me... Admittedly nothing I've said is very science based, but I'm studying philosophy so I guess I'm biased.. I have this app. Personally I think this is an issue of tolerance.

I thought this application was really interesting, and mostly I thought that the fact it (admittedly in tongue-in-cheek way) became a talking point about Apple's self-described "control freak" application screening process was pretty hilarious. The point was that Apple didn't flag this application, and that is a GOOD thing, because it means that even though a fairly large percent of the population doesn't believe in evolution, that's not stopping large corporations from realizing that IT IS a real, scientifically valid, proven fact. Thanks for reading, and feel free to keep discussing this issue! Jen Hi all,

This is like saying apple shouldn't allow Google Earth because it advocates the view that the Earth is round without a second opinion. Not a single real scientist considers evolution controversial.

There can be no doubt whatsoever that evolution is a fact under any scientific or even baseline logical observation and analysis. Why would anyone discussing such an issue give credence to a creationist attack? This is not to say the debates about the role of god or a creator cannot have a place... but to elevate them to a he-said-she-said equality regarding an interesting new resource is simply stupid. Are you suggesting every time someone puts up a scientific resource or finding it must be counterbalanced with a religious clearance or contrary opinion?
