This article is talking about how America is becoming less religious. Americans are really starting to embrace Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection. The reason for this change... The young generation. This article goes on to say how creationism is beginning to falter in the US. 73 percent of adults in America expressed belief in some sort of evolution, that is an increase of 12% from the 2009 poll taken. Many people are finding the drastic increases in people leaning towards Darwinism striking. A main reason ( this article goes on to say) is young adults are not not religious like there parents and grandparents from past generations. But there are still those who believe in creationism. about 34 % of Americans 50 - 64 still believe in creationism. Americans over 65 it goes up slightly ( unsurprisingly) to 37%.

One expert said the reason young people are buying into Darwinism is because young people now a days do not grow up with a closed mind like they did 50+ years ago. Young people are exposing themselves to reality and accepting facts not just sticking to what they have been told throughout there life times.

Even today we are seeing more of an acceptance in the catholic church. They have embraced it as a completely honest concept that works in conjunction with god. Pope Francis said that people have a misconception of god they see him as a man who runs around with a magic wand doing everything. Even the pope believes that isn"t the case.
