'Indy Timeline' of Upcoming Events Gallup Poll: Evolution? Go Figure.
How on earth did we humans develop such fuzzy worldviews???
Americans are a conflicted bunch. Data showed such contradictions as 53% believing in evolution of humans over millions of years... yet 66% also believing God created them within the past 10,000 years. And other such anomalies. Go figure.
But at least Gallup could 'make up his mind' on a few conclusions...
"Bottom Line...
The data in this analysis were measured in the context of questions about the origin and development of human beings. It is apparent that many Americans simply do not like the idea that humans evolved from lower forms of life. This appears to be substantially based on a belief in the story of creation as outlined in the Bible -- that God created humans in a process that, taking the Bible literally, occurred about 10,000 years ago.
Americans who say they do not believe in the theory of evolution are highly likely to justify this belief by reference to religion, Jesus Christ, or the Bible. Furthermore, there is a strong correlation between high levels of personal religiosity and doubts about evolution.
Being religious in America today is strongly related to partisanship, with more religious Americans in general much more likely to be Republicans than to be independents or Democrats. This relationship helps explain the finding that Republicans are significantly more likely than independents or Democrats to say they do not believe in evolution. When three Republican presidential candidates said in a May debate that they did not believe in evolution, the current analysis suggests that many Republicans across the country no doubt agreed."
