... Which is kind of weird if you think about it -- 31 percent of seculars don't accept undirected evolution.

The percentage of scientists in all fields who agree with evolution is around 95%, the percentage in the life sciences is around 99.8%.

What percentage of Christian denominations accept the ToE? 50? 75? 90? What percentage of Christians do? Same question about the various flavors of Islam and Muslims.

The so-called controversy seems to be restricted to differences among religious sects. I really don't see why scientsts should take the anti-evolution activists seriously until the theologians have come to 99.8% agreement as well. OK, 95%. And some peer-reviewed evidence would help, too.

The percentage of scientists who are positive atheists is 72 percent.

I think their religious views might be guiding their academic views.
