These are 1) descriptive and historical statements, 2) theoretical generalizations about partial contents and 3) evaluative judgments and practical rules.
A "precaution" variable was calculated by taking unweighted means of statements 2 and 3 (r = 0.42, p = 0.00).
Statements (1) and (3) will both be true given that replacement, while statements (2) and (4) are unaffected, and one will be able to derive the same conclusions as in Rowe's Bayesian argument.
Correlation coefficients were produced between statement 20 and statements 2 ('The scientific methods used to determine the age of fossils and the earth are reliable') and 4 ('The earth is old enough for evolution to have occurred').
Proof (1) The correctness of the implication dist → ρ cl follows from statements (2) and (4) of Lemma 1. Further, by Definition 2, the q-Lipschitzness of the map F in the metric ρ cl implies its q-Lipschitzness in the metric ρ S. (2) Now, let Ω be complete, convex and F : Ω → clos ( X ) be q-Lipschitz in the metric ρ S.
Two BEL Survey statements (11 and 16) were acquired directly and eight statements (1, 6, 7, 9, 15, 17, 20, 22) were adapted from Cunningham and Wescott's survey; the remaining 13 statements (2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 21, 23) were developed through an extensive search of biological evolution misconception literature.
