“…(A) new national survey shows that almost two-thirds of U.S. adults (64%) agree with the basic tenet of creationism, that ‘human beings were created directly by God.’

At the same time, approximately one-fifth (22%) of adults believe ‘human beings evolved from earlier species’ (evolution) and 10 percent subscribe to the theory that ‘human beings are so complex that they required a powerful force or intelligent being to help create them’ (intelligent design). Moreover, a majority (55%) believe that all three of these theories should be taught in public schools, while 23 percent support teaching creationism only, 12 percent evolution only, and four percent intelligent design only.

These are some of the results of a nationwide Harris Poll of 1,000 U.S. adults surveyed by telephone by Harris Interactive® between June 17 and 21, 2005.” (Yahoo! News)
