Nearly Half of Americans Reject Theory of Evolution?!

June 2012 Gallup Poll: In US, 46% Hold Creationist View of Human Origins

http://www.gallup.com/poll/155003/hold-creationist-view-human-origins.aspx

I had no idea that there were so many Americans who reject the essentially factual account that humans and all other species evolved from earlier species & share common ancestors. It wasn't until a few religious zealots at my job started proselytizing that I became aware of just how widespread the literalist interpretation of the Bible was in America. It is truly disturbing.

Anyone else encounter people like this? How do you feel about it?

Is there anyone here that rejects the theory of evolution? If so, why? It boggles my mind.

40% Of Americans, Majority Of Republicans, Reject Evolution

Honestly is it any wonder that the jingoist, war loving, money worshiping political party have these values.

I believe in balance.

I can't put too much into science because science tends to not solve anything. It tends to give theories that can be disputed on the most part. That's my 2 cents...

BTW, I'm a conservative.

Man you even had to turn this convo into a political spat divided among party lines. Smh. Every single time I attempt to engage in some intelligent dialogue, here you come with the tired old Republican vs Democrat crap. Regardless of the topic at hand.
