NEARLY HALF OF ALL AMERICANS -
INCLUDING A THIRD OF COLLEGE GRADUATES -
BELIEVE CREATION MYTH OVER EVOLUTION SCIENCE

BRIAN BRAIKER NEWSWEEK - Nearly half (48 percent) of the
public rejects the scientific theory of evolution;
one-third (34 percent) of college graduates say they accept
the Biblical account of creation as fact. Seventy-three
percent of Evangelical Protestants say they believe that
God created humans in their present form within the last
10,000 years; 39 percent of non-Evangelical Protestants
and 41 percent of Catholics agree with that view. . .
majorities of each major party — 78 percent of Republicans
and 60 percent of Democrats — rule out [voting for an
aethist]. Just under half (45 percent) of registered
independents would not vote for an atheist. Still more than
a third (36 percent) of Americans think the influence of
organized religion on American politics has increased in
recent years.
