==Also, most Christians are Darwinists, and most Darwinists are Christian.

Maybe in socialist, post-Christian Europe, but certainly not in the United States. And note, these Gallop polls pertain to all Americans. The numbers who believe in biblical creation goes way up if you just count regular church attenders.

So over half of those surveyed believed we descended from lower animals, the highest level since 1982. I was STUNNED when I first read those figures! People must agree with Pope Bendict XVI:

"This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such."

The claims you're making don't match Gallop's results. Your claims regarding that Gallop table are that 45% of all Amercans believe in the creationist view. Those claims are not supported by the evidence, because their own results indicate that only 25% of Amercans don't believe in evolution.

Also note that the group "Naturalist Evolution", from the table you've presented includes Christians.
