Well, please see my #235. I don’t know where or who Gallup does his polling, I really don’t.

As iraqnophobic wrote just upstream, it is difficult from a personal perspective to judge these things because of the selection bias we have, in our friends and mates, and also because fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.

That is why polling is such a challenge.. but one thing to note is how long Gallup has been doing these type of polls (about evolution), and how consistent the results have been over the years.

Indeed, it is that unchanging nature of beliefs in our society that has made some (who wish to see things change) give up.
