Strange as it sounds, scientists still do not know the answers to some of the most basic questions about how life on Earth evolved. Take eyes, for instance. Where do they come from, exactly? The usual explanation of how we got these stupendously complex organs rests upon the theory of [[natural selection]]."<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/jun/28/do-we-need-a-new-theory-of-evolution ''Do we need a new theory of evolution?''] by Stephen Buranyi, The Guardian, June 28, 2022</ref> | | On June 28, 2022, ''The Guardian'' published an article entitled ''Do we need a new theory of [[evolution]]?'' which indicated: "A new wave of scientists argues that mainstream evolutionary theory needs an urgent overhaul...

A survey commissioned by the Christian organization Pro Genesis earlier this year found 80 percent of Swiss want creationism taught in schools, according to swissinfo.
