Belief in evolution significantly declines among Republicans as party lurches rightward (lets show them how far right we can be, more & more out of touch) http://www.smh.com.au/world/belief-in-evolution-declines-among-republicans-as-party-lurches-rightward-20140103-hv7ck.html#ixzz2pJDhgdTW Washington: The number of Republican voters who do not believe in evolution has jumped from 43per cent to 54 per cent in the past four years, research has found. The survey on religious views by the Pew Research Centre found that over the same period the number of Democrats believing in evolution climbed from 64 per cent to 67 per cent. Just 60 per cent of Americans agreed that ‘‘humans and other living things have evolved over time’’; 33per cent rejected the notion, a number barely changed since 2009, when Pew last conducted this research. The researchers reported that this partisan difference remained even when the racial and ethnic differences in party make-up were accounted for. Larry Sabato, professor of politics at the University of Virginia, said the high level of belief in creationism and its rapid rise in Republican ranks shocked him. ‘‘I knew it was bad, but I didn’t know it was this bad,’’ he said. cont'd
