I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of americans didn't believe in evolution. I bet that the majority of americans who do believe in evolution don't actually know shit about it just like the majority of americans who believe in cars don't know shit about mechanics.

When it comes down to it most people are just looking for that person with the authoritative clothing to tell them what to think anyway. Especially in esoteric matters like science and religion. I don't think it really matters all that much if someone believes in the validity of evolution because it just doesn't come up that much in the day to day goings-on of the vast majority of people.

I think a couple years ago i would have scoffed at someone who denies the validity of evolution. Now, it doesn't seem to matter all that much, just like it doesn't really matter to me anymore when i meet people who are staunch proponents of things they clearly don't understand. When the conversation goes that way i just nod and change the subject. When it comes to certain things, certain people don't think the way i do. That's okay, everyone has that right.
