“Almost six of ten who identify as Republicans now reject evolution, but so do a third of Democrats.”
If one ever wanted solid evidence that Republicans are more educated, smarter than Democrats, here is the proof.
It is time Republicans move forward to eliminate the teaching of Evolution in our schools and colleges which would not only increase the percentage of people that would reject Evolution, but further marginalize the Democratic party.
Sigh .....
I can picture you and many others arguing that the world is flat like a 2 dimensional circle or square back in the 16th century because that is what the bible says and those 16th century scientists who are saying the planet looks like a sphere that, gasp, travels around the sun, should be disfellowshipped and labelled apostates.
If evolution is incorrect, science will prove it out to be incorrect. That is how science works - constantly testing to determine if a theory is correct or not.
Science is why we have located and developed a lot of our resources including oil and gas, established a top notched and improving medical system to keep us living and invented many of the great technologies we now use to communicate and travel.

My advice (which you will probably ignore) - Just keep your faith separate from science. Mixing science and faith is not a good combination.
