The YECs and IDers are winning

Evangelical Christians, buoyed by the re-election of President Bush, are
turning American schools into a battleground over whether evolution
explains the origins of life or whether nature was designed by an
all-powerful force.

Most Americans believe in some form of creationism, according to a CBS
poll conducted ahead of last November’s election. Fifty-five percent of
Americans believed God created humans in their present form, and a
further 27 percent believed humans evolved, but God guided the process.

Sixty-five percent of all Americans favored schools teaching creationism
and evolution, while 37 percent wanted creationism taught instead of
evolution.

The poll found greater support for teaching creationism among Republican
voters — 71 percent of Bush voters favored teaching creationism alongside
evolution.
