Rather a surprising set of results come from The Economist’s Daily Chart for 5th February, http://www.economist.com/research/articlesBySubject/displaystory.cfm?subjectid=7933596&story_id=13062613:
In Iceland about 80% of people believe evolution to be true
In Britain the figure is just under 75%
Germany 70%
Ireland around 65%
But
The USA around 40%
Turkey about 26%
There is a BIG gap between these latter two and the next lowest believing country, Greece, which stands at about 55%.
How does one account for that? Is this a sign of strength or of weakness? Does it matter?
All of these issues are discussed in the comments section at the end of this short article. Daily Chart view.
