A new dismal low point for the United States. According to new research presented by National Geographic, people in the United States are among the least likely, certainly among industrialized nations, to accept the theory of evolution.

In the U.S., only 14 percent of adults thought that evolution was “definitely true,” while about a third firmly rejected the idea.

In European countries, including Denmark, Sweden, and France, more than 80 percent of adults surveyed said they accepted the concept of evolution.

The only country included in the study where adults were more likely than Americans to reject evolution was Turkey.

The investigation also showed that the percentage of U.S. adults who are uncertain about evolution has risen from 7 percent to 21 percent in the past 20 years.

So it is actually getting worse. Welcome to the dark ages.
