February 11th, 2009 was Charles Darwin's 200th birthday. Somehow I missed this and didn't know it before today...but I stumbled across some little Darwinian tidbits during my foray into the world wide web today. Charles Darwin shocked the world by declaring humans and apes are related – an idea Leonardo da Vinci had 350 years earlierCompliments of the Gallup organization:
- One-third of Americans believe the Bible is Literally True. There is a high inverse correlation between education and belief in a literal Bible.
- Only 39% of Americans believe in Darwin's Theory of Evolution. There is a strong relationship between frequency of church attendance and education in the belief in Darwin's theory.
- The majority of Republicans doubt the Theory of Evolution...and more Americans accept the theory of "Creationism"
