"Disregard my last summary"
Your addition may be confounding to the layman. Would you elaborate on the difference between the two, and why creationists accept the former but not the latter. Cheers, [[User:Leopeo|Leopeo]] 08:45, 10 November 2007 (EST)

:Thanks for the suggestion. I've added [[Natural selection#Natural selection and evolution|Natural selection and evolution]]. How's that? [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 23:08, 10 November 2007 (EST)

== "Disregard my last summary" ==
Ed, you said in your latest edit summary for this article, "Oops! "creationists accept that natural selection is a real, observed, process." so disregard my last summary". As that edit summary was the justification for the move, does that mean that it should be moved back?
It should be moved back. I believe that I would be right in saying that there is no theory of natural selection. That it, it is an ''observation'', not a ''theory''. A theory is used to explain something that we observe, such as the theory of gravity. Even if someone questions the theory of gravity, that doesn't mean that gravity itself is in dispute.
That 40% of Americans reject it would be due to evolutionists equating natural selection with evolution. Those 40% would be the ones that (a) reject evolution, and (b) believe that the evolutionists are correct in equating natural selection with evolution. I've never heard of anyone realising that natural selection is not the same as evolution and yet rejecting it.
