"if evolution is a fact, why does 80% of North America believe that God created all things in some form or another, and a mere 20% trust evolution."
Pop quiz, hotshot: The United States:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States
Population: 308,745,538
Europe (including my country, the UK):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe
Population: 731,000,000
Peoples Republic of China:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Republic_of_China
Population: 1,339,724,852
You do the maths, re. the discrepancies in population numbers in Europe, compared to, say, the US. To say nothing of the PRC.

'Despite the surveys' varying results, most agree that the traditional religions Buddhism, Taoism, and Chinese folk religions are the dominant faiths.'
Now, care to show me where it states that '80% of China believe that God created all things in some form or another, and a mere 20% trust evolution'? You tell me.
Fact: The PRC is set to overtake the US in scientific R&D in the next two years. You don't get that far - certainly that fast - development-wise, by allowing religion to control your people, nay, it's politics. Texas, take note.
Now, we in the UK aren't as obsessed about religion as you fundie nutty buggers are over there. PROTIP: In Sweden, just 5% of the population are regular churchgoers; less so in Denmark. The Czech Republic, according to surveys & polls conducted by the EU, is the least religious country in Europe.
And yet, we in the UK actually have a state religion: the Church of England. Incidentally, the C-of-E openly accept the Big Bang, and even Evolution. Why is Charles Darwin buried in Westminster Abbey, one of only five non-royalty people memorialised in the C-of-E's central place of worship? You tell me.
A clue for free: The Church of England openly admit that much of the Bible is merely fable and metaphor. As in they're not raving, rabid right-wing Bible Literalists as you lot are. (PROTIP: Even the Catholic Church admits that much of the Bible is fable & metaphor; as in it's not to be taken literally).
In conclusion: Reality. It's not a democracy.
As it says in the ED credits to the anime series "K-ON":

Oh, and ever hear of something called Kitzmiller vs. Dover, SilverEagle?:

Even the law itself - certainly backed up by the US Constitution no less - states that Evolution is fact. 'Intelligent Design', and therefore by definition, Creation is lies.
The law says so.
Deal with it.
