The polls taken at Universities top out at 95%. These folks are typically lifelong adolescents, spending a lion share of their time with youth since kindergarten. Perpetually engrossed with Liberal Academia, growing their resume to climb their "corporate" ladder.

Or perhaps the simpler explanation is that scientists worldwide (not just in the US academic corporate ladder) find the evidence for an old earth and common descent of all life on it highly persuasive, as do many non-scientists who examine the data without the prism of religious pre-determination of the answer.

You still haven't provided an iota of evidence for your contention that scientists outside academe are less likely to support ToE than those inside it. I take it therefore that you don't have any.

As I have said, it can be logically deduced, since a poll of scientists outside academia could never be taken.

If we take an unscientific poll here on FR of scientists that believe God is intimately involved with our universe and don't aspire to the purely naturalistic TOE, it would be a majority.

Put more clearly, no believer in God agrees with Darwinistic evolution of RMNS. A logical deduction comes henceforth.
