Belief in evolution: stats!
The British Council has asked, with the help of Ipsos MORI, over ten thousand adults across ten countries from China to the USA, just what they think of evolution.

Among the results, the % of people who do NOT think there is scientific evidence for evolution:
Argentina - 7
China - 5
Egypt - 19
Great Britain - 7
India - 2
Mexico - 9
Russia - 8
South Africa - 4
Spain - 5
USA - 24
Yes, I'm looking at that bizarrely high % next to USA.
I recommend you all buy someone a
copy of this book when it's released.

...from the living examples of natural selection in birds and insects; the 'time clocks' of trees and radioactive dating that calibrate a timescale for evolution; the fossil record and the traces of our earliest ancestors; to confirmation from molecular biology and genetics. All of this, and much more, bears witness to the truth of evolution. "The Greatest Show on Earth" comes at a critical time: systematic opposition to the fact of evolution is now flourishing as never before, especially in America.

Gaps in fossil record are not holes in theory, y'all!
