Public schools K-12 and beyond have taught for decades and decades that evolution is the total answer to how we got here.  But somehow most people are not buying it.  How can that be?

It's frustrating to evolutionary scientists and profs and teachers.  They think they just need to improve their teaching methods.

Maybe it's something else.  Everyone knows that the Bible teaches that mankind is made in God's image. Maybe there's an intuition built into the human mind that can discern God's involvement in creation.
