One-third of Americans reject evolution, poll shows

NEW YORK (Reuters) - One-third of Americans reject the idea of evolution and Republicans have grown more skeptical about it, according to a poll released on Monday.

Sixty percent of Americans say that "humans and other living things have evolved over time," the telephone survey by the Pew Research Center's Religion and Public Life Project showed.

But 33 percent reject the idea of evolution, saying that "humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time," Pew said in a statement.

. . .

Among Americans who say that humans have evolved over time, a quarter told Pew that "a supreme being guided the evolution of living things."

60% say evolved over time times 75% that do not think "supreme guidance" = 45% of Americans who buy evolution as is. 55% think there is some sort of sky fairy involvement.
