As a coworker suggested to me, one doesn't believe in evolution. One acknowledges evolution, because it's a fact. You don't believe the world is spherical -- you acknowledge it and factor it in to your plans.
Matt Taibbi brings us the following startling information. Where'd my passport go?
A New York Times survey last year showed that 55 percent of Americans believed that "God created us in our present form," while only 13 percent believed that "we evolved from less-advanced life-forms over millions of years, and God did not directly guide this process." A similar Gallup poll in 1997 placed those numbers at 44-10; in 1991, the numbers were 47-9. Do with that what you will. I'm typing from under my desk. Does anyone have any stats on stuff like this from other countries? I'd be curious to see what the UK's ratio is like.
