Republicans' belief in evolution plummets, poll reveals
Fewer Republicans today than in
2009 believe in evolution, according to new analysis from the Pew Research
Center.
A poll out Monday shows that less than half - 43 percent - of those who
identify with the Republican Party say they believe humans have evolved over
time, plunging from 54 percent four years ago. Forty-eight percent say they
believe "humans and other living things have existed in their present form
since the beginning of time," up from 39 percent in 2009.
At 67 percent and 65 percent, respectively, the numbers of Democrats and
independents who believe in evolution have remained more or less the same
since 2009. They're also in step with the population nationally: Six-in-10
Americans say they believe humans have evolved.
*****************************************
Even the results for the Democrats is pathetic.
What this country needs is less church.
