Anyone who goes on “polls” to judge science should either go back to school or just not give their opinion on a subject they know little about. There is a good reason why I don’t comment on “the rapture” or other mythology that close friends of mine believe in.
I think the poll was not a judgement on science. I rather think it was a query to find out what people ‘believe’.
Quite frankly, the poll knocked my socks off. I had no idea that many people thought that man was ‘created’ less than 10,000 years ago. The poll proves nothing about science but makes an astounding statement about the assumptions of those polled.
