In total, about 60% of scientists in the United States expressed disbelief or doubt in the existence of God in 1996.

Why conflate "doubt" with "disbelief" except to obscure the real numbers for ideological reasons?

Huh? Perhaps the study had 3 options for the question on faith in God: believe, doubt, disbelieve? It really feels like you're awfully eager to be contentious.

FR really isn't the place to have a good discussion re. evolution/creationism. Information is a google search away, and we really can't get at the heart of the issue through a long-distance forum anyway. Just believe what you want to believe, and consider whether Truth exists.
