[lbo-talk] Americans & evolution

``..Majority of Republicans Doubt Theory of Evolution
More Americans accept theory of creationism than evolution..''

--------

I'd like to see an over-time study, something that showed if these
opinions have changed much since say 1950. Any where to go see?

I am asking, because evolution was taught in LA public high schools
along with intro to biology(sex ed), physiology(more sex ed) and
advance bio (genes, dna, ecology, evolution, etc). This was
approximately 1960 and it was standard high school stuff.

I'd never heard of creationism. I knew the story of genesis, but never
gave it a second thought. 

So, I am wondering when this doubt about evolution came from. Nobody I
remember ever brought it up, even in church---which I attended
regularly and unwillingly until 16.
