A new survey shows that 33 percent of Americans reject the idea of evolution and say “humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time.”

The study from the Pew Research Center’s Religion and Public Life Survey showed that evangelical Protestants top the list of those rejecting evolution with 64 percent saying there is no such thing as evolution.

A quarter of those surveyed said that “a supreme being guided the evolution of living things.”

The survey noted that while the overall number of those who do not believe in evolution has stayed steady, the partisan divide grew.  In 2009, the last time the question was asked, 54 percent of Republicans accepted evolution.  The total in 2013 is 43 percent.  Democrat support for evolution was up 3 percent.

The survey of almost 2,000 adults was conducted in March and April 2013 with the findings released this week.
