USA TODAY: One-third of Americans reject human evolution

From USA TODAY One-third of Americans reject human evolution While nearly two-thirds of Americans say humans have evolved over time, a third of U.S. adults disagree, according to new survey results from the Pew Research Center. The Pew Research Religion & Public Life Project report released Monday found that 33% think "humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time." Sixty percent agreed with evolution. Among those who agree with human evolution, about half attribute it to "natural processes such as natural selection." Whereas, 24% of adults say "a supreme being guided the evolution of living things." The survey also found disagreement across political and religious lines. http://usat.ly/1cj234B Get USA TODAY on your mobile device: http://www.usatoday.com/mobile-apps Dr Schmoyer
