I clicked on the “more knowledge” link. well worth effort to read the survey, no wonder the ‘council’ would press for more Darwinism teaching. All that effort and so little results.

Thanks for pointing that out. I for one am cheered to see that in the US, 51 percent agree that "it is possible to believe in a God and still hold the view that life on earth, including human life, evolved over time as a result of natural selection," compared with only 27 percent who don't. And 41 percent agree that "enough scientific evidence exists to support Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution,” compared to 30 percent who don't.

What I'm really curious about, but can't find any information on, is how they determined who "have heard of Charles Darwin and know something about the Theory of Evolution." If they're just self-identified, I'd be interested in seeing the results weighted by whether what they know is accurate. Because as we see here every day, there are lots of people who think they know something about the TOE, but what they think they know is totally off base. Including their opinions doesn't really support the article's headline.
