NEW YORK (Reuters) - One-third of Americans reject the idea of evolution and Republicans have grown more skeptical about it, according to a poll released on Monday.
Sixty percent of Americans say that "humans and other living things have evolved over time," the telephone survey by the Pew Research Center's Religion and Public Life Project showed (Click http://www.pewforum.org/2013/12/30/publics-views-on-human-evolution/ for the full survey).
But 33 percent reject the idea of evolution, saying that "humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time," Pew said in a statement.

This country is really weird. I'm not saying people who don't believe in evolution or science are stupid, but it does concern me on our ability to compete in a technological world. I mean humans living with dinosaurs, 6000 year old world. It's basically Americans and maybe some backward countries in the middle east that believe this stuff:facepalm:
