Statistics

Britons unconvinced on evolution

A sample of 2000 Brits:

22% chose creationism
17% opted for intelligent design
48% selected evolution theory
and the rest did not know.

"When given a choice of three descriptions for the development of life on Earth, people were asked which one or ones they would like to see taught in science lessons in British schools:
44% said creationism should be included
41% intelligent design
69% wanted evolution as part of the science curriculum."


Which I find quite bizarre.

What is it they say about statistics tho? There are lies, damned lies and statistics?
