Poll on Evolution

40% of Americans believes in creationism. That's down from 47% in 1993 and 1999. Here are some other findings from a newly released Gallup poll:
  • 38% believe God played a role in the process of evolution.
  • 16% believe humans have evolved with no divine guidance (twice as many as in 1982).
  • 60% of those who attend church on a weekly basis believe in creationism
  • only 2% of those who attend church on a weekly basis believe in secular evolution.
  • among those who rarely or never attend religious services, 24% believe in creationism
  • among those who rarely or never attend religious services, 39% believe in evolution without divine guidance.
