      Hi @hanniiee! I suppose you could say I “believe” in evolution — I am a human evolutionary biologist! See these other two questions I’ve answered:

      /copperj11-zone/2011/06/how-did-apes-turn-in-to-humans
      /copperj11-zone/2011/06/how-do-animals-evolve-into-other-othersor-living-creatures

      The way I normally put it is that, over the many years I have been a scientist, I have come up against such a huge amount of completely convincing, overwhelmingly correct evidence about the reality of evolution, that I don’t believe any other explanation for biology will replace it.

      Do please ask more though, or follow up in the comments!

      Thats the thing with us scientist we love evidence! I very rarely put blind faith in anything. If there is good supporting evidence for something then I will believe it. So evolution is definitely something that I believe in.
