Gallup: Most Americans Don't Believe in Evolution

Despite the skewed headline of the survey (Third of Americans Say Evidence Has Supported Darwin's Evolution Theory--I think mine is more to the point), the Gallup organization has found amazing evidence that a large majority of Americans don't believe evolution to be a theory supported by scientific evidence.

Blog Pulse unfortunately doesn't get it:
"I've gotta ask: is this a result of the so-called educational "gains" from No Child Left Behind? And should we add "ignorance" to the BlogPulse daily graph that charts the seven deadly sins?"

Hmmmmm! Maybe this is the attitude which keeps most scientists from making any attempt to review research in light of both creation and evolution. Not the most empirical method for finding truth. (Or for finding political truth, if I may digress for a moment!)

But let's face it: there are plenty of facts to be found which support creation theory becuase there have been scientists who have undertaken to review the fact in light of the Genesis account. This is not a "slam dunk" for evolution theory.
