I just find this so depressing. "A Gallup Poll released Wednesday suggests about 53 percent of Americans rejects the theory of evolution as the explanation for the origin of humans. About 31 percent of respondents said they believe humans evolved, but God guided the process. Only 1.2 percent said they believe the scientific theory of evolution and 'God had no part'."
"Researchers said people with lower levels of education, those who attend church regularly, those who are 65 or older and those who identify with the Republican Party are more likely to believe in the biblical story of the origin of humans. "
This is just proof that education is a serious nation wide problem in this country. (Ok, proof is a strong word since there was no margin of error figures disclosed about the poll).
