Lark, gotta ask: What is the difference between an "entrenched view" and a "prejudice"??? Seem mighty similar to me.Regarding Evolution: anyone can see powerful, rather undeniable evidence of it in one little action common to most, if not all, mammals. Observe your dog (or cat) when you offer it a tidbit of food: it will flick its tongue out-and-back quickly. It seems lions, bears, horses, rabbits, etc., do exactly the same thing. It is body language for "I want that". Now, when was the last time YOU saw a delectable morsel and licked YOUR lips in anticipation? Hardly a useful or essential act for humans or animals, is it? So why is it an involuntary response. We weren't trained to do it. So it must be instinctive - genetic, that is. Since at least many mammals do it, the genetic basis must have originated in some earlier life form. And there you have pretty darned good proof of Evolution.
Then you can go off the deep end and observe that snakes and some other reptiles flick their tongues constantly when searching for food. Y'think? Naaaah!
