WASHINGTON — Majorities of Americans in a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll say evolution and creationism are both likely explanations for life on Earth — underscoring the complexities of an issue that has put Republican presidential candidates on the spot in recent weeks.

Two-thirds in the poll said creationism, the idea that God created humans in their present form within the past 10,000 years, is definitely or probably true. More than half, 53%, said evolution, the idea that humans evolved from less advanced life forms over millions of years, is definitely or probably true. All told, 25% say that both creationism and evolution are definitely or probably true.

**********************************************************

Still can’t prove that the *vast majority* of those here on FR believe that “God created through evolution”...

Try again. You’re the one who claimed it.

Pony up on the stats.

53+25=78% posit a belief other than “literal biblical creation” sister...
