"struggle between faith and reason"

Faith and reason live in harmany if you love the truth and pursue it. There is only a conflict if you are afraid of examining the veracity of your own beleifs.

“only 39 per cent of Americans believe in the theory of evolution”

Sounds fishy to me ... Especially in misusing the word “believe.”

So far as I’m concerned, beliefs belong in church.

Americans are said to be the world’s best consumers and that includes being the world’s best at rejecting inferior products, including inferior ideological doctrines like evoloserism. Other than that, Christians and others are correct in noting that Chuck Darwin’s theory is primarily responsible for the 200M - 300M dead bodies lying around due to communism, naziism, and two world wars.

If man descended from a lower order of animals namely monkeys, why are there still monkeys and not all men?

Do you blame Malthus for the population control regimes in China? Nietzche for the Nazis misinterpretation of him as well?

“Faith and reason live in harmany if you love the truth and pursue it. There is only a conflict if you are afraid of examining the veracity of your own beleifs.”

How aptly put!

God doesn’t expect you to have “faith” in somthing unreasonable.

Isa.1:18

[18] Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:

Paul certainly “reasoned” with people about his faith:

Acts.18:1 - 16

[1] After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

[2] And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

[3] And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

[4] And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

[5] And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.

[6] And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

Darwin was bitter and angry at God for taking away his daughter:

“... who loses faith in God following the death of his beloved 10-year-old daughter, Annie.”

Faith and “reason” are best friends; not enemies.

Beliefs are not exclusive to the world of “religion” or “church”. For example some truly “believe” that socialism is the way for the U.S. to go. I disagree but that is their “belief”.
