Including many christiansI dunno about that. Last year we had a bible study at my church where we discussed that kind of thing. There were about seven of us there. Most of us believe in evolution. I don't often run into Christians who don't believe in evolution. Perhaps the only Christians you've heard on this point were the really noisey ones?

I agree with Pete. When I became an Atheist I was still going to Catholic school. I went to Catholic School straight from 4th grade till I graduated High School. I was taught evolution, and never met anyone who believed in creationism. So I remember in High School, after becoming Atheist, they had a channel 1 news story about this Creationism vs Evolution debate in classrooms and that was the first time I ever heard anything about that. Even with my Catholic upbringing, I always was taught evolution in science class, and creationism in religion class. And for some reason I reconciled early on that evolution was true and creationism was symbolic and when I disbelieved, a myth.
