2013 Pew Survey - Evolution vs. Supreme Being. I like stats and thought these new survey results were really interesting.


POPULATION AS A WHOLE:



So, 1 in 3 Americans believe that humans have existed in our current form since the beginning of time; they don't believe in evolution. I didn't think the number would be so high.

Of those who do believe in evolution, 1 out of 4 believe that a Supreme Being or God is behind that evolution.


BY POLITICAL PARTY:



According to the survey, less than half Republicans believe in evolution and that number has dropped substantially since 4 years ago. This stat surprised me the most.

Less teaching of religion in school, lots of religious scandals in the news (from all over the world), more new archaeological finds showing differences in the early humans as compared to today...but the number of Republicans who believe that humans have always existed in the same form as we do now is increasing?

I'm not critical of that being the case, just curious as to what's behind it.
