::I don't quite understand the statistics of the article as it is currently phrased... does this mean that 64% (a majority) of Americans who believe the theory of evolution is valid are conservative, or at least independant?

I also agree with Tom Moore that this is a silly topic for an article. I'll also posit that the last sentence should just be removed entirely, as removing its bias would render the sentence pointless. Gregory
