re: #153 Grackle
Correction: I the darker gray band in the gallup poll section is the id and creationism advocacy figure. That seems to be hovering around the same area. I still feel that this isn’t showing a rise in creationism though.
Until well into the 80s, maybe even early 90s, I knew of NO ONE who didn’t fully accept evolution and see creationism as a backward relic of the Snopes trial. It was unthinkable. To see any significant percentage of creationist believers/evolution deniers is still shocking to me and does represent a sea change in beliefs.
