Where do people find information about evolution?

Category: BloggingEvolutionMediaReligionScience EducationScience ReportingSociety
Posted on: November 26, 2006 2:30 PM, by Coturnix

I am sure glad that others have started parsing the numbers of the new report on 'The Internet as a Resource for News and Information about Science'.

Duane Smith takes a close look at a couple of tables in the report and concludes that, while relatively few people say they get their information on evolution directly from the Bible and Church, many do so indirectly, by beeing steeped in their comunities' beliefs transmitted by family, friends and neighbors (as well as local and church-run media). Interesting take (and I agree with him on this). What have you found so far?
