Most people to believe in evolution in some form or another. However, what the average citizen 'believes' is not what science is all about. People can deny human descent from another ancestral species, but that doesn't mean they are supported by science.
Nicely said. And IMHO, it does not contradict being a Christian.
My point is science and religion do have some things in common. People will look to "prove" what they already believe and discard what doesn't fit. And people will continue to argue about it as they have done throughout history.
