And I believe God created humans and animals and plants "after their own kind". And people are free to believe what they wish. Don't you find it strange that after generations being taught the TOE, the majority still aren't buying it? Wonder why?
Because a facile belief in mythology is intellectually easier than the hard work of understanding a fairly complex and challenging field of science, especially when that field of science makes them feel somehow less divinely exalted among the rest of the species?
But they are not free to dictate the results of science research.

The majority of Americans do accept common descent, they just don't accept an atheistic explanation of it. Either way, the fact that so many Americans don't is just a sad testament to the sorry state of science education in this country. Keep in mind also that roughly half of people think that lasers work by focusing sound waves, that electrons are smaller than atoms, and that antibiotics can kill viruses, according to a 2004 NSF survey. One quarter of people didn't know that the Earth orbits the sun. To answer your question, the public doesn't completely buy the theory because they don't understand it.
I honestly don't understand your adamant rejection of evolution, given that you have stated on these threads that you reject the less than 10,000 year-old earth that a literal reading of the Bible requires.
Except for some protestants in the United States and some Moslems, the majority do buy it.
Not really. I know why most people in the US don't believe the ToE. They have fallen prey to unscrupulous snake oil salesmen that fill their heads with misinformation about the ToE.
