According to the most recent Gallup Poll about Idiot America and evolution:
38% of Americans say their Magic Man magically created human apes out of nothing.
Another 38% of Americans say humans evolved but the Magic Man was one of the mechanisms of evolution.
Only 19% of Americans agree with the biologists, human apes evolved from ancient apes and the Magic Man had nothing to do with it.
5% of Americans said "Duh, what is evolution".
The Christians who pretend they accept evolution always stick their Magic Jeebus Man into it. They can't accept evolution as a completely natural process. It's always "god invented or guided or used evolution". That's ridiculous. Their god fairy's magical powers were never required for anything.
The religious implications are obvious. Charles Darwin killed the god fairy fantasy.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
