In an unrelated but telling note:
More Americans Believe in Devil & Angels than Evolution
The new survey by an American polling firm reports that more Americans believe in the devil, hell and angels than Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Further, a substantial amount of American also believe in ghosts, UFOs, witches, astrology, and personal resurrection.
The survey was conducted by The Harris Poll, which polled 2,126 Americans nationwide.
The poll showed once again the piousness of the American public with 80% professing belief in God, 75% in miracles, 73% in heaven, 71% angels, 70% in the resurrection of Jesus, 68% in an afterlife, 62% in hell, 61% in the Virgin birth of Jesus, and 59% in the devil.
Although only a minority of Americans believe in Evolution, more do so than those with pronounced belief in Creationism; which seeks to find a role for God in the science of the universe and nature. 47% of Americans believe in Evolution while 40% believe in Creationism...
As for numbers on the odd beliefs: 44% believe in ghosts, 36% UFOs, 31% astrology, and 24% in reincarnation.
