They just aren't as common or as influential as they are in the USA. They also exist in other European countries as well. Europe may be overwhelmingly secular and non-religious compared to the USA, but there are still plenty of small pockets of Christian fundamentalism in Europe. @peterNW1: there are plenty of smaller Protestant sects in the UK that deny evolution and have a literalist reading of the Bible.

The pub looks like an English pub. There are no mainstream Christian denominations in the UK that deny evolution. If it was set in the States it would be a different matter.

However, it is a fully formed, complete animal with no half-finished components or useless growths.</i> I wonder what this writer would say about flying squirrels: like bats, they have aerodynamic membranes behind their forelimbs, but incompletely functional.

Every fossil is a transitional form, since every species is/was always evolving. Sheesh! The Transitional Fossil fallacy always gets me.

The internet certainly makes it easy to find the things that otherwise just lurk under rocks.

I'm not used to that level of ignorance. Serves me right for not having an open mind. Thanks Johnnie, that confused me. I’m not used to that level of ignorance.

You take a 5,000 piece jigsaw and scatter it across, say, Canada. Thousands of dedicated people over a couple of centuries search out the pieces. They find 4,900 and conclude that it is almost certainly Constable's Haywain (although accepting it might be a variant piece). But there remains a hard core who insist it is Whistler's Mother until the final piece is found. kc,
