1. Gallup Poll, May 2006: 'A recent Gallup Poll shows that almost half of Americans (46%) believe that human beings did not evolve, but were created by God in their present form within the last 10,000 years or so . . . There has been surprisingly little change over the last 24 years in how Americans respond to this question. Between 44% and 47% of Americans have consistently agreed with the third alternative, that God created human beings in their present form within the last 10,000 years or so. Between 35% and 40% agree that man evolved with God's guidance, while between 9% and 13% believe that man evolved, but with no guidance from God' (Newport 2006). Gallup Poll, February 2009: 'On the eve of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, a new Gallup Poll shows that only 39% of Americans say they "believe in the theory of evolution," while a quarter say they do not believe in the theory, and another 36% don't have an opinion either way. These attitudes are strongly related to education and, to an even greater degree, religiosity' (Newport 2009).
