In the United States, most people educated up to High School graduation or less, believe in creation in preference to evolution. In the rest of the Western world, the overwhelming majority of all people believe in the Theory of Evolution.

In 1996, the National Science Board put the question, "Believe that humans as we know them today evolved from earlier species of animals" as part of a survey of Science and Engineering Indicators for the United States. The proportions of people who replied 'Yes', by education level:

Graduate/professional over 70%
Baccalaureate about 60%
H.S. graduate about 41%
Less than H.S. about 29%

The Data360 organisation provides more recent statistics for the population as a whole, in the United States and selected other countries, who believe in evolution:

USA ........ 39.7%

Britain .... 73.4%

France ... 79.5%

Denmark 82.2%

I believe in God (and the Big Bang), but I don't believe in the creation theories put forth about fossils being hidden by God just to trick us and test our faith. That is very strange to me.
