According to an August 2006 survey by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life and the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, 63 percent of Americans believe that humans and other animals have either always existed in their present form or have evolved over time under the guidance of a supreme being. Only 26 percent say that life evolved solely through processes such as natural selection.
This is sad. Only 1/4 th of my fellow citizens actually beleive the truth. People and politicians (yes there is a difference) have been complaining that the US is falling behind in education yet we continue to allow this to happen.
