A 2001 Gallup poll found that 45% of Americans agree with the statement "God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so," 37% prefer a blended belief that "Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process," and only 12% choose that "Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part in this process."
The correct choice -- absent from above -- is, "Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life. These less advanced forms also evolved in a process of evolution dating back billions of years. There is no evidence that God directly intervened (did miracles) in the process, but neither does evolution disprove the existence of God, miracles, and His creation of a universe facilitating evolution."
