It's surprisingly high in Canada too
There was a poll that found less than 50% of people across the country accept the theory of evolution, with Ontario being the lowest province at something like 38%
I'll never find the poll so I could be lying for all you know, but it's some more good anti-Ontario ammo

What Im finding is that although people suggest they are religious...or Christian...most have no clue what that means beyond going to heaven.
It seems people use whatever clause(s) they desire out of the bible or textbook they choose to suit themselves. Much like Clarkey mentioned above.."
How many Christians actually follow the literal 6 day creationism belief though? I think it is more of a fringe thing, but it gets a lot of attention due to it's lunacy.

Where is the line in regards to religious lunacy? Is it the mere thought of a belief in a ghost or a super being who one day snapped his fingers and voila...we have earth and man/woman? Reality is that IF you consider yourself a true Christian, then you should believe in its manifesto...the Bible and its teachings. So all of the BS we read about...Adam and Eve, the Ark etc etc etc...is part of that belief system. What kind of a Christian are you if you can select portions to suit yourself? Let me guess...a HYPOCRITICAL Christian!
