According to CBS, the numbers are substantially different. 40 percent for evo when the totals are combined between true believers and the wishy-washy. 40 vs 46 for homosexuality.
So, the baseline observation is correct. Homosexuality has more support than evolution and in far shorter time. Moreover, most find it reprehensible behavior.. Just an interesting observation..
According to almost every poll, those that believe God is not involved in the process are 15% of the population. For Republicans the number drops to half of that number.(this excludes those that did not understand the question)
