AREN'T ONLY AMERICANS DIM?

Darwin teaching 'divides opinion' (BBC, 10/26/09)

More than half of adults in a survey of 10 countries thought school science lessons should teach evolutionary theories alongside creationism.

Among those who knew of Darwinism, on average 53% felt other possible perspectives should also be taught. [...]

In Great Britain 60% felt this way. [...]

A previous survey suggested a lot of people were open-minded about having a faith and understanding that evolutionary processes occurred, and she thinks the polarisation of the arguments has confused them about how science works as a process.

That's where the real hilarity begins, when more detailed polling reveals that the vast majority of those who claim to believe in Darwinism think the process is directed, not Natural.
