Dayton During the Trial

Vocabulary Atheist: one who believes that there is no higher power or deity. Agnostic: one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god

Beliefs in God & Evolution According to the Pew Forum's U.S. Religious Landscape Survey in 2007 (with a representative sample of 35,000 Americans), only 1.6% of Americans reported being atheists and 2.4% reported being agnostic (an additional .8% “didn’t know” or “refused” to answer).

Beliefs in God & Evolution

Beliefs in God & Evolution A humble question: if the vast majority of Americans believe in God (more than 95%) and only 16% believe evolution is independent of God, why shouldn’t intelligent design be allowed in public schools as an alternative or compatible theory to evolution? Who are we kidding? This is what Americans believe.
