The most interesting poll from Gallup:
PRINCETON, NJ — On the eve of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, a new Gallup Poll shows that only 39% of Americans say they “believe in the theory of evolution,” while a quarter say they do not believe in the theory, and another 36% don’t have an opinion either way. These attitudes are strongly related to education and, to an even greater degree, religiosity.
Somewhat distressing…
I find the “No opinion” crowd to be more distressing – I mean we’re only asking you to think about the origin of your own species. It’s not as if they are asking you about “dark matter” or something…
I bet if it was between Whopper or Big Mac the “No Opinion” column would drop to 1% or lower….
