Hmmm.... I thought we scientifically backward Yanks were practically all alone in the world in our skepticism...

It's Bush's fault

"there are lots of people who appear to believe in an alternative theory for life's origins."

It's not obvisous to me if the editor of the TV program is a believer in evolution or not.In any case, it's unfortunate that he tags evolution as an theory of "life's origins".

I find evolution to take more faith than I can muster.

And as to the separate issue of the origin of life, a closed physical system seems utterly incapable of producing life from nothing. IMO, you have to introduce something from outside to account for it.

[cubreporter]

is this really a story? I think not. Who cares???? They can believe what they want.

[Old_Mil]

Hmm. The British don't believe in Evolution. Apparently a goodly number of them don't believe in Jesus (and by extension, Genesis) either. Which begs the question, just what do they believe?

[RichInOC]

I don't blame 'em. I mean, I can understand perfectly if the British look around at their fellow citizenry and think "This lot's the result of millions of years of evolution? Pull the other one, mate."

[GSlob]

Well, from everyday observations it is obvious that many have not evolved.

[Blogger]

surprising, condidering that Great Britain is not what you would call a Christian nation any more (very few even attend church). Guess, that supports what we've been saying about the merits of the "facts".

[CarrotAndStick]

Contradicts this:

Shropshire's son Charles Darwin is officially one of the greatest Britons - that's according to the BBC's top ten list - but does he belong alongside the likes of Brunel and Princess Diana or should his theories be thrown in the waste paper bin of history? Have your say!

-BBC.

The Register notes that survey "participants over 55 were more likely to choose evolution over other groups, while those under 25 were most likely to opt for intelligent design."

Wonder how old the oldest participants were? The 55 group sounds like a bunch of old hippies.

[The Great RJ]

Most Brits don't believe in dental care either.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Interesting that these evolution surveys never make it around to asking all those lovely "indigenous pipples" whose religions the Left is so bong-diggity to protect from corruption by alien Western influences. You know, the Australian aborigines, "native Americans," etc. Is it even legal to teach it to these people? I mean, that's cultural genocide, right?

I'm still waiting for the Black churches to way in on this controversy with a comment of some sort . . . and waiting . . . and waiting . . . and waiting . . . and waiting . . .

[longshadow]

another embarrassing article from Newsmax.

Notice the tell-tale lack of the words "random sample" in reference to the "poll."

I'll leave it to you guys to deconstruct the rest of this tripe...

[Trailerpark Badass]

Do Muslims believe in evolution?

[little jeremiah]

Interesting. Note that younguns are less likely to believe in the TOE.

I thought we scientifically backward Yanks were practically all alone in the world in our skepticism...

And now we find we're not alone in our gullibility, either.

[Aquinasfan]

I think they need to ban the teaching of Creationism and Intelligent Design even more. That should do the trick.
