Proposed Section: Public Opinion
I'm proposing a section on public opinion relating to Creationism based on Gallup, based on the following primary sources:
- http://www.gallup.com/poll/21814/evolution-creationism-intelligent-design.aspx
- http://www.gallup.com/poll/155003/hold-creationist-view-human-origins.aspx
According to this, 46% of Americans believe in Young Earth Creationism as of May 2012, that God created man in present form in the last 10,000 years. 32% believe in Old Earth Creationism, that humans evolved with God guiding. Just 15% believe in atheistic evolution, that humans evolved but God played no role in the process. 7% have no opinion. The range of support for Americans believing in Young Earth Creationism has ranged from 40-47% since 1982 when Gallup began polling the question, which has been asked 11 times.
In June 2007, 39% said Young Earth Creationism was "definitely true" and 27% said it was "probably true", a total of 66% support. On the other hand, 18% said Evolution is "definitely true" and 35% said it's "probably true", a total of 53% support.
