Gallup did a poll regarding this recently (video summary here). Most interesting were the major reasons given for not believing in evolution, IMO:
- I believe in Jesus Christ (19% of nonbelievers)
- I believe in the almighty God, creator of Heaven and Earth (16%)
- Due to my religion and faith (16%)
- Not enough scientific evidence to prove otherwise (14%)
- I believe in what I read in the Bible (12%)
- I'm a Christian (9%)
- Other (5%)
- I don't believe humans come from beasts/monkeys (3%)
- No opinion (3%)
- No reason in particular (2%)

Evolution wasn't dicovered by Darwin. various evolutionary ideas had been knocking around before him. What Darwin hit upon was natural selection. Totnesmartin 17:35, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
- I see your point, but perhaps we could say that the discovery of natural selection enabled Darwin, as the first, to accept evolution on what turned out to be a valid scientific basis? Or not. Delete it if you will. - Nasreddin 17:51, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
- Probably not. Erasmus Darwin was already on the track with mutability of species, as were many others. Transmutation (evolution) was seen as a scientific "fact". Darwin just happened upon the naturalistic mechanism. ArmondikoVtheist 18:23, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
