            As I understand it, the 
              evidence for the basic framework of evolution is quite strong. Perhaps 
              this would be a good example for seeing what makes scientific evidence 
              "unnatural" and hard to follow or believe. The scientific 
              evidence is pretty overwhelming for evolution, yet many people resist 
              it despite the evidence. A closer investigation of why this is so 
              might reveal just the sort of difficulties people have with scientific 
              arguments, that Eric was talking about.
            Maybe we could start 
              by collecting together the pieces of evidence people know about: 
              the fossil record and age determinations of fossils, the mechanisms 
              of mutation, etc.
            Here's one source of 
              resources on this:
