Y'know, the words "about 99.9% of biologists" are interesting. I doubt the person who wrote this is familiar with a survey that found that precisely 99.9% of biologists believe this. For all I know, it's 99.999%, or 97.6%. Everybody knows, in any case, that it's a ''very'' high percentage. If we don't know that the 99.9% figure, precisely, is correct, then why are we using it? --[[LMS]]
