Title: A new nationwide poll by Zogby International shows that 69 percent of Americans support public schoo


1
  • A new nationwide poll by Zogby International
    shows that 69 percent of Americans support public
    school teachers presenting both the evidence for
    Darwinian evolution, as well as the evidence
    against it.

2
  • By more than two to one, voters say that
    biology teachers should teach Darwins theory of
    evolution, but also the scientific evidence
    against it.

3
  • Approximately seven in ten (69) side with this
    view.

4
  • In contrast, one in five (21) feels that
    Biology teachers should teach only Darwins
    theory of evolution and the scientific evidence
    that supports it.

5
  • Among the biggest supporters are 18-29
    year-olds (88), 73 of Republicans, and 74 of
    independent voters.

6
  • Others who strongly support this approach
    include African-Americans (69), 35-54 year-olds
    (70) and 60 of Democrats.

7
  • More than three-fourths of respondents (77)
    agree that when Darwins theory of evolution is
    taught in school, students should also be able to
    learn about scientific evidence that points to an
    intelligent design of life.

8
  • Furthermore, a majority (51) agrees strongly
    with this statement.

9
  • In comparison, one in five (19) disagrees with
    the statement.

10
  • Seventy percent or more of people in just about
    every sub-group agree that when Darwins theory
    of evolution is taught in school, students should
    also be able to learn about scientific evidence
    that points to an intelligent design of life.

11
  • Just over two-thirds of Hispanics (68)
    strongly agree with the statement, as do good
    majorities of Republicans (57) and residents of
    the South (57) and rural areas (58).

12
  • Others who highly agree include over
    four-fifths of 18-29 year-olds (87), African
    Americans (83), and Catholics (83).
