Polls concerning creation/evolution in science class?

Question

Can anyone link me to an American poll, taken at any time by any reputable polling organization, where 25% or more of the people polled say that they should teach evolution ONLY (not creationism or Intelligent Design) in science class?

Thanks.

Thanks Nick.

The reason I ask is because every poll I've ever seen has "teach evolution and creation side-by-side" getting the most votes, and "teach evolution only" is always either last or next-to-last. I know the polls don't matter but I thought it'd be nice to see creationism and Intelligent Design not get the majority in one of them for a change.

Answer 1

give me one minute......I will do you one better. This poll says that over HALF of Americans feel that evolution and not creationism should be taught in science classes.

"A 1999 United States poll found that most people favor teaching evolution -- and teaching it as science -- and that when creationism is taught, most prefer that it be taught either in nonscience classes or as a religious belief (DYG 2000). "

Answer 2

Doesn't matter how many people want to teach ID alongside evolution. Doesn't matter how many don't know the difference between science and speculation. Doesn't matter because the Constitution says no teaching of religions in schools (or at least The Supreme Court has ruled such) and ID is indeed religion, not science.

Hahaha. Yesterday, when I was walking home and said goodbye to my old chemistry teacher, and then we walked not only in the same direction in school, but even to the station.

Table 6. Though it gives a figure of 12% who say only evolution should be taught.
