And we saw that there were presidential candidates that said they did not believe in evolution. What an embarassment! But it seems like we excuse ignorance and bigotry when it comes from religion for some reason, as if that makes it okay.<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing that if they broke down the survey in terms of age and the amount of education, that it would show more younger persons believe evolution explains the origins of humans.
