Half of Americans Now Believe in Creationism?

Only 15 percent of Americans now believe the human species evolved from lower
forms of life and God had no part in the process, a new Gallup poll reveals.

And nearly half of those polled say they believe God created humans in their
present form within the last 10,000 years.

Creationism was chosen by 46 percent of respondents; 32 percent said they
believe in theistic evolution; and 15 percent opted for secular evolution.

Not surprisingly, creationism was the choice of 67 percent of respondents who
said they attend church weekly, while 25 percent of those who rarely or never
attend church agreed with that view.

But it is somewhat surprising that 46 percent of college graduates — and 25
percent of those with postgraduate education — say God created humans in their
present form within the last 10,000 years.
