Not necessarily the same article. As I just got done saying, the poll results are all over the news. He could have read about them anywhere.

And I'm talking about the group that noozguru posted about! >> Nice try, Share, but that's wrong too. They don't believe in evolution--for any critter, or even any plant--because evolution isn't in the Bible. The Bible says God made everything once for all time. That's what the poll question asked, and they said that's what they believed. << IOW, Judy, I took what noozguru said at face value. I was not guessing about 1/3. I was guessing about why they don't believe in evolution. >> On Tuesday, December 31, 2013 2:12 PM, Share Long <sharelong60@...> wrote: Judy, my post was not a wrong guess.

Forty-eight percent say they believe 'humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time,' up from 39 percent in 2009. [my italics] "At 67 percent and 65 percent, respectively, the numbers of Democrats and independents who believe in evolution have remained more or less the same since 2009. They’re also in step with the population nationally: Six-in-10 Americans say they believe humans have evolved."

I'd further speculate that for many of that 1/3, the rejection of evolution is based almost entirely on their religious beliefs. Still, it is pretty mind boggling in this day and age! >> I can really believe that 1/3 of the US population does not accept evolution. It's pretty obvious in their behavior and lack of intelligence. :-D >>
