found that 42 per cent of Americans are “not too” or “not at all” confident that all life on Earth is the product of evolution.


That's a shame. It should be 100%. Life is not the product of evolution. Evolution affected life and that's obvious, but evolution didn't produce life.

and 36 per cent doubted the Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years.


Yet again another goofy question. The Earth has been around since the beginning of the universe. It just took a while for it to come together.

When it comes to global warming, only 33 per cent expressed a high degree of confidence that it is “man made,” something the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has declared is all but certain.


The reason this article was written is to get this fact out.

Climate Change/AGW/whatever you want to call it, is literally brought up 1 time in the entire article. On top of that, it's towards the beginning. So I'll disagree with you on that

Well they can't say, "Life sprang from nothingness, apparently at random" - and they don't believe in G-d, so I guess they have to say, "Big Bang, evolution and blahblah."

What else do they have?
