Abstract

To verify the perception of Brazilian about biological evolution, it was asked if respondents agreed or not with the statement: (Rescuing Darwin report) “Young Earth Creationism, the idea that God created the world sometime in the last 10,000 years... ” The results were crossed with religion and education level. The majority of respondents agreed and this agreement increases between religious (70% of evangelicals, 50% of Catholics and 25% of spirit). The correlation decreases with the level of education. These data raise questions related to the teaching of evolution in Brazil.
