Gallup: Plurality of Americans skeptical about evolution

[DemPGH]

Yeah, it's slightly improving, but I honestly wonder how well the American public actually understands evolution, let alone the scope of geologic time. It's a common fallacy to hear someone say, "We didn't come from no apes!" Well, no. We are apes. We evolved from something that's not here anymore.

You know, if a person wants to adopt the personal belief that God guides evolution, fine, but understand the process first! I also think a lot of folks for what are probably sociological reasons have a hard time accepting that something can change over time since they don't see it happening. I mean, global warming is happening and they reject that, so that they reject a process that they can't see in front of them - and have only a sketchy understanding of - is probably the main issue.
