“The only way the Darwin-only lobby can spin these kind of survey results,” added Chapman, “is to claim that the public is just ignorant.

I disagree totally. I don't believe that evolution explains the origin of life at all, but I still have problems with the questions as written.

The question asked whether you should teach scientific evidence both for and against, or only for. Naturally most people will want the "fair and balanced" view of teaching both for and against. But the naturalists don't accept that there is any scientific evidence against. Their version of the question would be more like, "Teach scientific evidence for and religious evidence against, or only teach the scientific evidence for?" That question would create a very different answer.

Shalom.

Exactly. The questions were framed from a push pollster/lawyer mindset.
