I've found the opposite to be the case - the more educated someone truly is, as in they actually know things and have really learned to use logic, reason, etc., the more likely they are to doubt evolution. That's because they actually THINK for themselves instead of just swallowing and parroting the party line to keep that peer review panel happy and the research grant dollars flowing.

It's amazing how much circular reasoning really does go on in scientific circles regarding evolution, along with other logical fallacies. I've actually seen articles where some biologist took two mutually contradictory propositions and used them as evidence to "prove" the same evolutionary claim.
When you're dealing with people who know that X not= Y, but yet argue that X = Z and Y = Z at the same time, what can you really do?
