hard to believe in this day and age!

A Gallup Poll:

Third of Americans Say Evidence Has Supported Darwin's Evolution Theory
Almost half of Americans believe God created humans 10,000 years ago

Belief that Darwin's theory has been well supported by the evidence is strongest among those with the most education, liberals, those living in the West, those who seldom attend church, and among Catholics.
The lowest levels of belief that Darwin's theory is supported by the scientific evidence is found among those with the least education, older Americans (many of whom say they are unsure about the theory in general), frequent church attendees, conservatives, Protestants, those living in the middle of the country, and Republicans. "

I know that i am somewhat insulated because all of my friends and most of my acquaintances are well educated and most are very liberal, but some of the statistics in the article are pretty incredible! Despite overwhelming scientific evidence, almost 1/2 of America believes that humans were created no more than 10,000 years ago magically in the form that we now have. I guess i should never be amazed at the ignorance of the American people.
