UPHILL BATTLE

Most of my fellow citizens are a bit behind the times.

Poll: Majority Reject Evolution
NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2005


VIEWS ON EVOLUTION/CREATIONISM
Now
God created humans in present form 51%
Humans evolved, God guided the process 30%
Humans evolved, God did not guide process 15%

Nov. 2004
God created humans in present form 55%
Humans evolved, God guided the process 27%
Humans evolved, God did not guide process 13%
NOTE: The results were not much different between the answers to that question and those given when a specific timeline was included in the final alternative: God created human beings in their present form within the last 10,000 years.

The anti-scientific attitude seems to have reached a high, based on past polls:

Gallup Poll on Evolution and Creation, 1982-2001

God created people in present form within last 10,000 years

'82 44%
'91 47%
'93 47%
'97 44%
'99 47%
'01 45%
