According to a recent Gallup poll 66% of Americans believe God created them. Thus, while evolution was not specifically part of the question, the two are exclusive - although you would need to research the figures for the percentage of those who believe that 'God used evolution' to get a definitive answer.

Researchers compared the results of past surveys of attitudes toward evolution taken in the U.S. since 1985 and similar surveys in Japan and 32 European countries. In the U.S., only 14 percent of adults thought that evolution was "definitely true," while about a third firmly rejected the idea. In European countries, including Denmark, Sweden, and France, more than 80 percent of adults surveyed said they accepted the concept of evolution. In the spring of 2007, following an all-candidates meeting of ten Republicans seeking the presidency, three denied a personal belief in evolution. This promoted the Gallup Organization to ask American adults between 2007-MAY-21-24: "Do you, personally, believe in evolution or not." This is one of the poorest polling questions that we have ever seen, because people generally hold one of three beliefs concerning origins: Naturalistic evolution:Evolution happened according to purely natural forces and processes without any divine guidance. Theistic evolution: Evolution happened and was/is guided by God. Creationism: Species were created separately by God.

When a person is asked if they believe in evolution, they might interpret the question as belief in naturalistic evolution only. Alternately, they might consider it as asking whether one believes in either naturalistic or theistic evolution. Pollsters tend to like simple yes and no answers. Sometimes they do not handle questions well where there are three discrete positions. Also, some people regard evolution as covering only the development of life forms from the first one-celled animal to the present diversity of plants and animals. Others include the origins of the universe, the development of galaxies, stars, planetary systems, development of mountain ranges, continental drift, etc. The results, for what they are worth are a statistical draw: 49% believe in "Evolution;" 48% do not; 2% have no opinion.

As expected, more highly educated adults believe in "evolution:" 74% of people with post-graduate degrees believe in "evolution," as do: 48% of college graduates 50% of adults with some college 41% of adults with high school or less.

More frequent attendance at religious services correlated with a lack of belief in "evolution:" 24% of those who attend weekly believe in evolution, as do: 52% of those who attend nearly weekly or monthly, and 71% of those who attend seldom or never.

As expected, political affiliation reflects a difference of opinion on origins: Only 30% of Republicans believe in "evolution;" 68% do not. 61% of independents believe in "evolution;" 37% do not. 57% of Democrats believe in "evolution;" 40% do not.

The five main reasons why people say they do not believe in "evolution" are belief Jesus Christ, belief in God, due to my religion or faith, not enough evidence, and belief in The Bible. 9 Excerpted from; "Beliefs of American adults -- 1991 to 2007:" === === == == Americans would rather hear about evolution from scientists than from judges or celebrities, according to a new survey that finds a majority agree that evolution is at work among living things. In the new FASEB poll, researchers asked half of the respondents about their views on the evolution of "all living things" and found that 61 percent accepted that "all living things have evolved over time." Of those, 36 percent thought all living things "evolved due to natural processes such as natural selection," and 25 percent thought "a supreme being guided the evolution of living things for the purpose of creating life in the form it exists today." The researchers asked the remaining respondents to consider human evolution and found that 53 percent accepted that "humans and other living things" evolved. This majority included 32 percent who accepted that humans and other living things evolved through natural processes and 21 percent who thought they had evolved with guidance. Scientists accept evolution as the best and only theory that accurately explains how humans and other species came to be so diverse. The theory is supported by many studies in many different fields of science. Intelligent design is a thinly veiled creationist argument designed to make the public doubt the theory of evolution, according to nearly all scientists and a 2005 ruling by U.S. District Court Judge John E. Jones III in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District.

Why did Charles Darwin find it difficult getting his theory of evolution accepted?

Everyone at the time of Darwin's discovery believed that people were created by God instead of evolution. We were supposedly perfect, but to believe that we had evolved made us look imperfect due to the evolution of the body, and other such features.


Do you have to reject evolution to be a Christian?

I am not a Christian myself, but I don't think so. It is my understanding that some Christian groups (denominations) reject evolution, others not. While evolution is not supported in the Bible, it is more a matter of belief as it is not considered a sin to believe in evolution.Another Answer:IMO, yes you must as evolution teaches that God did not Create all as His Word the Bible tells us He did. Is God a liar? I don't think so. Is there any truth in evolution - perhaps on a micro-level but definitely no proofs on the macro-level even after all these years. Creation requires a Creator and Laws like 'biogenises, thermodynamics' cannot be said to be wrong and evolution only right. Laws require a lawgiver.No. Quite a few Christians believe in evolution. Though the Bible says God created the world, it is what we should believe and as Christians many of us do. But some find it difficult to accept this. It does not mean you are not a Christian. Also, many Christians believe in Macro-evolution. Which is like when tadpoles evolve into frogs.


What arguments has there been about who made god?
