From Devolve Me
This post comes to on the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birthday.
So does this depressing news:
A brand-new Gallup poll tied to Darwin's birthday finds that just 39% of Americans believe in evolution.
Lord, help me.
And not surprisingly…
…education plays a big role here: 74% of those with post-graduate degrees believe in evolution. That's compared with only 21% of high school grads (or those will less education) who believe in the theory.
Ditto religion: 55% who don't attend church believe in evolution, versus 24% of weekly churchgoers who believe in it.
Willful ignorance.
