A friend of mine is taking a class on evolution at the University of Michigan, and according to a study they were told about, 51% of the US population DO NOT believe in any form of evolution. Where do you stand?

Irish Gal: Since 85% of the population is religious and 49% believe in some kind of evolution, that means that 34% believe in god AND evolution

I don't believe in evolution, I *know* there's some solid evidence supporting it

ha? how can some of you say Evolution is a Fact?
I believe in Micro evolution as a Fact but not Macro
alot of people think Macro and Micro are the same
Micro -evolution is basically things like hair color,bone sizes,hairs less or hairy,
and Macro is like me growing wings or growing claws which I do not believe and there is no evidence of Macro evolution
or did you forget the dirty word missing links?
besides for Evolution to happen (from a atheistic point of view) would be impossible
Nothing plus Nothing Equals nothing so if there is no Creator then there should be no Creation so evolution would not be possible.
p/s Mutations are 99% bad show me a example of a good mutation .

I think that there is certainly evolution. Look at the changes that have been made in the average human in the last 200 years. I think that those people who do not believe have been told that by their religious leaders. They can not allow people to believe in evolution since they have no explanation as to the discrepancies between evolution and the bible.

I'm not surprised. Even 3 of the GOP candidates don't believe it; Tancredo, Huckabee and Brownback.
There are sooo many people who are so dumbed down by their religious beliefs that they refuse all scientific knowledge at all.
I call them fenceposts....that's about all they contribute.
There is a difference between "education" and intelligence. Some are simply lacking the intelligence to grasp it all. Fairy tales are easy.....

I don't believe in macro-evolution, but I DO believe in micro-evolution, which has much more scientific backing then macro. And micro-evolution doesn't compromise or go against my belief in God and Christianity either.

If ignorance is bliss I guess 51 percent walk around in a permanent orgasm. Lucky them. As for myself, I believe in "God" AND evolution.

I do believe in evolution and I also believe in a supreme being. Supreme being meaning not in a biblical sense.

I am a Christian who got here through evolution.
If the University if Michigan told me the sky is blue I would have doubts ;)

I believe in both evolution and creationism. God is all powerful and he can make things 'evolve' if he wants. The Earth has existed for millions on years and in that time God could created (or evolved) many things.
