What I knew about evolution came primarily from creationist literature, so when I finally took a course in evolutionary theory in graduate school I realized that I had been hoodwinked. What I discovered is a massive amount of evidence from multiple sciencesâ€”geology, paleontology, biogeography, zoology, botany, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, genetics and embryologyâ€”demonstrating that evolution happened.&rdquo;
