BBC: Most Brits Don’t Believe in Evolution

Instead, according to NewsMax.com, they believe either in creationism or in intelligent design. The distinction is not trivial. Even intelligent-design theorists specifically deny standing on any idea of exactly who the "designer" is or was. Only creationists put forward a unified, or "made one," theory about how the world and mankind came to be, and at Whose Order. More interestingly, forty-one percent of respondents actually said that schools ought to present creationism, at least to discuss it.

And this ought to scare the demons out of the liberal educational establishment: the younger the respondents, the more likely they were to choose an alternative to evolution, specifically intelligent design.
