Correction. The only numbers I gave were the 47 to 50 percent increase in believers of evolution taken from YOUR poll in YOUR post.

Not in your post 10 which is why I posted 367. I repeat "Apples/oranges. If anything those numbers show a drop in people who believe in evolution, because the previous answers allowed a person to have belief in evolution with God guiding the process. Therefore you would add two separate groups to end up with believers of evolution, those that believed God did not have a hand and those that believed he did. The last gallop poll had the total at 50%." Once more, a 50% belief in 2008 to a 39% belief in 2009 is most certainly a drop. Thus "Apples/oranges".

Oh, that chart. It shows evolutionists leading creationists 39 to 25 percent.

BTW, what is the percentage of Christian schools teaching YEC?

Apples to apples then. Creationists went from 44 to 25%.
