All those Britons who snickered or jeered over the recent dust-ups over here about evolution and intelligent design are pleased to be sitting down and shutting the hell up now:

More than half the British population does not accept the theory of evolution, according to a survey.

Furthermore, more than 40% of those questioned believe that creationism or intelligent design should be taught in school science lessons.

One of those "Ha-ha... rmmm... oh boy..." sort of moments.
