Actually 78% of Americans reject evolution. The first response:
“Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process”
is a rejection of evolution. Evolution is a naturalistic explanation for human (and other) life, and has no room in it for supernatural causes; the only way to “fit” God into the process is to take something else out.
The concept of “evolution guided by God” is literally double-think: it is simultaneously believing two contradictory ideas. “Evolution guided by God” is every bit as ridiculous as saying that objects fall under gravity, guided by God, or that planes fly by Bernoulli’s principle, guided by God, or that our computers turn on with electricity, guided by God.

"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

Somebody wrote this 10 years ago at another website. He explains why "theistic evolution" is bullshit.
