Americans remain divided and confused over the issue of evolution, a study on the eve of Charles Darwin's 200th birthday has found.
A review of data by the Pew Research Center finds that for the past 20 years Americans have remained divided about the origins of life on Earth. The review concludes that about 40 to 50 percent of the public accepts a biblical creationist account of the formation of life.
However, the study said that an August 2005 Gallup poll found that 58 percent of "the public said that creationism was definitely or probably true as an explanation for the origin and development of life, but about the same number also said the same about evolution. Since creationism and evolution are incompatible as explanations, some portion of the public is clearly confused about the meaning of the terms."
