GALLUP: Most Republican Americans still do not accept evolution.

Posted on August 26th, 2008 by Michael

The majority of Republicans in the United States of America do not understand the theory of evolution and they do not know that humans evolved over millions of years from less advanced forms of life.

GALLUP: Princeton, NJ: 20/06/08:

60% of Republicans do not accept the evolution of human life. They still think humans were ‘created by God’ less than 10,000 years ago, according to Gallup Polls conducted regularly since 1982.

    I was raised in a Pentecostal, First Assembly of God Church until I was 16 (I’m 40 now). I now consider myself to be Agnostic. The old programming from the “Snake Charmer Church” makes it tough even now not to think that there isn’t at least a “spark” or “creation” to the evolution of Humans & the Universe. But really, to think the Earth is only 10,000 years old is really grasping for straws. I guess that’s why I’m a Libertarian.
