What percentage of Americans beleive en evolution?
924616
When you consider both naturalistic and theistic evolution, about 50% (49%) believe in evolution, based on Gallup polls in 1991 and 1997.  The numbers can vary with the structure of the questions and the way you slice the data.

No, but I think modern monkeys and I had a common ancestor a very, very long time ago.  When a family diverges, they start getting different pretty quickly, depending on who they marry.  If one of my more recent ancestors went to China while my branch went to America, we'd look rather different now, wouldn't we? Why is it so hard to believe a more ancient equivalent, except because you are trying to take literally something which was written when scientific knowledge was extremely primative?\n\nScience and religion have two different goals, two different world views, and two vastly different vocabularies.  Religion is writing about things so beyond human experience that our words just do not fit, and we have to resort to symbols.  When you look at ancient manuscripts and ponder the symbols, you get a lot more than you get from words which have been sorted through any number of translations and interpretations since they were written.  Not a single word of the modern Bible (and remember, you go into a Bible Bookstore, you will find a great many modern versions, not just one) was originally written in English.  The writers had probably never even heard about that far-off island, and English as we know it had not been born.\n\nPlease, don't ridicule those of us who accept the theory of evolution as the most reasonable one.  We have let you continue to label it "theory" once most the rest of us have accepted it as fact.  Don't ask for more!

That's impossible to quantify at the present. We'd have to poll millions of people around the globe just to get a reasonable demographic. What's more, everyone really should believe in evolution, and anyone who does not believe in evolution is clearly ignoring the facts. Evolution is a fact, not a possibility, and not just a theory. Whether or not it conflicts with Christianity's premise is yet to be determined, and I really could not care less. Evolution isn't a religious doctrine, it's a scientific analysis.

I just asked everyone (all 6 billion of them) and the answer is 37.83%.  38% like him, 13% are neutral, and 11% don't care.  I'm in the last group.

Evolution is a theory.

If you’re a believer in facts, scientific methods, and empirical data, the picture is depressing. \n\nA recent survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Science found that 64 percent of respondents support teaching creationism side by side with evolution in the science curriculum of public schools. A near majority—48 percent—do not believe that Darwin’s theory of evolution is proven by fossil discoveries. Thirty-three percent believe that a general agreement does not exist among scientists that humans evolved over time.

Evolution is only a theory.  If it is being taught as "fact" then they are doing you a disservice.

Of course humans are still evolving - how else would you explain Britney Spears?\n\nShe is what most people are trying to evolve FROM.

I also understand evolution to be true.\nWe "paint" God as a man becaue we have no other understanding. We are only human after all.

origins are hard for small minds to wrap around.  Modern minds are conditioned to getting answers in a few seconds of a soundbite, otherwise they are bored.  Some teenagers still believe in the easter bunny and santa clause. It wasn't Adam and Steve.  Yes, evolution is a process that takes millions of years, not a soundbite of a few seconds. Evolution may seem to have stages, but they never stop. If you don't believe in the concept of evolution, you don't believe in the concept of graduation and may have to get a job at the level of the rest of us apes.

I think 100% Americans

90% do apparently! A small statistic report. Though all may not be americans.

Found this quote... No idea about actual truth of our DNA, but I thought this quote was hilarious and post-worthy. After a bit more further reading there seems to be a whole conspiracy theory about reptilians running the earth's governments. I have read that 10% of our DNA is reptilian, but I don't seem to be able to link it to a reputable source. I don't doubt that we do have DNA that matches other creatures. There is alot to DNA and after all we all did a fair amount of evolving to get to where we are today.\n\n"It was after the destruction of Atlantis that the reptilians who were now underground decided to re-take the surface [of Planet Earth], but to show themselves would create a lot of fear and panic upon the population. So what they did was start a hybridization programme where they actually created a royalty or elite group that infiltrated many cultures and became their leaders. And to this very day they are the leaders and royalty of Europe and much of the wealthy families that control this planet. All humans have reptilian DNA. That's what the story of Adam was about. That's why we have tail bone, skin that wrinkles and peals and a reptilian brain stem. We all have a DNA makeup of 10% reptilian DNA and 90% human DNA. However the shape shifting (royalty or elite group) human/reptilians have a 50/50 balance of DNA. They need to consume human products to maintain that balance [missing children etc]. A high percentage of American presidents have been shape shifters".

Most religious folk do accept evolution, it is really only in the USA that you have this problem, and it really is a problem.\n\nEdit:\n\nAnd no nothing makes a difference, all the information is out there, they just put their hands over their ears, its really not about evidence, they don't have a problem with the theory of relativity which is way more difficult and controversial than evolution.

Creationists are freaks-99% of biologists believe evolution is a fact which reduces a creationist who disagrees with evolution to the intellectual level of plankton.

We were taught evolution at school. That is like teaching Islam in a Catholic school, right? I am with you....and God.
