Some aspects of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/lifestyleMolt\/idUSN2922875820071129?pageNumber=1&amp;virtualBrandChannel=0\">this Reuters poll<\/a> are not surprising.  Vast majorities of Americans believe in God and Jesus as either God or the Son of God.  That&#8217;s all well and good.  But for only 42% to believe in evolution is a bit numbing.  Only 16% of Evangelicals accept evolution, which I guess shouldn&#8217;t come as a shock.  But I wonder if that same 84% of them would be willing to live without the medicines, therapies, crops, and livestock that scientists, working with and from Darwin&#8217;s theory, have made available to them?
