- Level 1 evolution acceptors (n = 502) and rejectors (n = 30) and level 4 high (n = 255) and low (n = 228) evolution groups shown separately as percentage
- A Living systems are so complex that they must have been designed by some kind of intelligent agency; B during their lives organisms adapt to their environments and these useful adaptations are passed on to the next generation; C all living and extinct species were created at one time less than 10,000 years ago; D all living and extinct species were created over a long period of time, with species made extinct by catastrophic events replaced by new sets of created species; E all species are the result of a long period of gradual change, with favorable variations becoming more common in populations as a result of conferring a reproductive advantage; F an organism mutates and then changes to be fitter for its environment
