re: article - what I found fascinating is that there were so many unscientific value judgements in it ...

color me skeptical... count me out?
I wonder if they tried it on children ?- adults may have their minds set by culture, but children's minds are more open. They actually have more neural connections than adults; as we grow older our conections die off. |

Here's a piece of evidence for evolution: Genesis 1:24- And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. According to modern evolutionary theory, the shifting of the environment creates the kinds of animals. "The land" produces living creatures according to their kinds.

Re the article and IRex's comment - yes, common ancestry is certainly one interpretation that can be made from the data, and I'm sure many intelligent scientists will make that leap.
