Weekly Review (Harpers.org)

"A new poll showed that nearly one half of the U.S. population believes
that human beings did not evolve, but instead were created by God within the last 10,000 years, while only one third believe that the theory of evolution is accurate."

Interesting exercise: ask people in your family, people you know, work with. I think you'll find that that 50% figure is a lot closer to home than you think.
For one thing, few people will express certainty on such a monumental question: they will hedge. For another thing, very few people know enough about biology to understand evolutionary processes.
