It Explains Many Things

Americans believe in pretty much everything claim some Aussies. OK, they're backed up by a survey from Harris Online and everything seems to be gods, ghosts and the paranormal, with less belief going round for "Darwin's theory of evolution".

That last one's pretty loaded, though, isn't it? How did the questioning go?

"Hey, do you believe in God?"
"Yep"
"Angels?"
"Yep"
"Miracles?"
"Every day is a miracle"
"Darwin's theory of evolution?"
"Evolution is well established, but I have problems with certain aspects of Darwin's theory in particular."
"So you don't believe Darwin's theory?"
"Well Darwin got a couple of things wrong."
"That's no to Darwin, then"
