Third of Americans Say Evidence Has Supported Darwin's Evolution Theory:

"Only about a third of Americans believe that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is a scientific theory that has been well supported by the evidence, while just as many say that it is just one of many theories and has not been supported by the evidence. The rest say they don't know enough to say. Forty-five percent of Americans also believe that God created human beings pretty much in their present form about 10,000 years ago. A third of Americans are biblical literalists who believe that the Bible is the actual word of God and is to be taken literally, word for word."

Hmm. I guess they have a point...it's not like the theory of evolution is the most widely tested, best supported scientific theory in the history of the human race (all 10,000 years of it). As for the biblical literalists....evidently their God is a complete schizophrenic or else (even worse?) an inveterate flip-flopper. [via Waxy]
