In a recent Newsweek poll:

• Nearly half (48 percent) of the public rejects the scientific theory of evolution;
• one-third (34 percent) of college graduates say they accept the Biblical account of creation as fact.
• Seventy-three percent of Evangelical Protestants say they believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years; 39 percent of non-Evangelical Protestants and 41 percent of Catholics agree with that view.
• Six in ten (62 percent) registered voters say they would not vote for a candidate who is an atheist.
