      I think it does effect the way we think. For example a primitive primate like our ancestors probably just thought about where the next meal was coming from or looking for a mate. However, we have evolved to have emotions and concious thought, like whether or not we want to have children or what we are going to do at the weekend.

      I also think the theory of evolution has changed the way we think about religion. It gives a new perspective as to where we came from rather than just assuming it was a God because that what we have been told by our specfic religion. It has given us a lot more freedom and choice over what we believe.
