Okay. So I guess that makes the THEORY of evolution a fact.
I wonder how many people believe Pluto is a planet.

What's scary is if the margin of error is 3 per cent, more adults in the United States might NOT believe the theory of evolution is correct.

"More adults in the United States believe the theory of evolution is correct, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. "
Another poll taken, directly after the Pew researchers, indicated that most of the original responders were unaware that the free coffee and donuts were unconditional, and completely unrelated to their responses.
Coincidentally, my own poll, which I took some while ago confirmed 100% that General Motors Service Departments were run by jerks.

I'm really surprised it's not higher than 51. :~)Surprised? I'm disgusted.
But I'm not surprised in the least.

Actually the same poll that said Bush would win 51-48.
Of course, when the ballots were tallied, rounded to the nearest percent, Bush won, 51-48.
Pew called it exactly

Eh - I save disgust for weightier matters. And although it's an unpopular point of view, I think the fairly even nature of this poll represents where our students come, and therefore those who say both points of view ought to be discussed in school are correct. ~Let the class discuss it, and stop trying to hush one or the other in class~. Any student is going to find both points of view in the world, they ought to find it in school. That's the way it was taught to me 20 years ago and no one was broken by it.

Are you suggesting teaching non-science and anti-science in science classes based on poll results?
I would have to disagree with that strongly.

In my dictionary here, a definition of "most" is "the majority of". "Majority" is defined as "a number or percentage equaling more than half of a total". Therefore, calling 51% "most" seems to make sense to me.

If it had been 51% favoring evolution, the headline would have been "Americans evenly split".
I've seen it over and over again.
