Evolution in popular culture
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
Evolution can clearly be seen in popular culture through the saturation of scientific journals and schools with its dogma. Equally if one does a quick browse of all areas in popular culture it can clearly be seen that it too has been saturated with pro-evolutionary propaganda.

Movies
- In the X-Men film series, a character explains, "Mutation. It is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward." (Mutations are credited for the fictional superheroic abilities in the films. Notably, all the mutant superheros are still human.)
- The Jurassic Park film series is heavily laden with evolutionar propaganda. (Curiously, a fictional scientist in the film, John Hammond, exclaims "creation is a sheer act of will.")
Television
- In the popular television series Heroes, evolution is credited for the changes in the characters.
- In an episode of Leave it to Beaver, Beaver's older brother Wally explains whale evolution to him.
- In an episode of The Munsters, Herman Munster is mistaken for the missing link.
