Science is not a popularity contest. It is not democratic in the least.
What percentage of the population do you suppose could describe how a television set operates, and under what principles television transmissions take place?
My guess is less than 2% of the population. Yet, 99% of the population can turn a television set on and receive programming.
Polls do not measure scientific information. They can measure levels of ignorance of science, of course, but the have nothing to do with science.
If we begin teaching the sciences based on public opinion, we have lost the whole thing.
With television, one makes a persuasive case, then demonstrates it to be true. Unfortunately, that is not possible with evolution.
Therefore you ask us to believe, not know. And I did believe in high school and college. Creationists from Morris to Meyers take the time to explain and persuade rather than demand belief like the materialists.
