51 percent of the UK population state a belief in intelligent design, ID. While the survey did not specifically mention ID it was worded as thus.

In the survey, 51 per cent of those questioned agreed with the statement that "evolution alone is not enough to explain the complex structures of some living things, so the intervention of a designer is needed at key stages"

What is the purpose of this article? To reflect society's views or to persuade readers to change their mind about issues.There is a definite bias against a Genesis account of Genesis. Richard Dawkins is given allegiance to twice for calling such Christians as ignorant.

Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary biologist and author of The God Delusion, said the findings revealed a worrying level of scientific ignorance among Britons. . . .

. . . Prof Dawkins expressed dismay at the findings of the ComRes survey, of 2,060 adults, which he claimed were confirmation that much of the population is "pig-ignorant" about science.

In the conclusion of the article at least credence was given to theistic evolution. Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury stated"

"I'm an evangelical Christian, but I have no difficulties in believing that evolution is the best scientific account we have for the diversity of life on our planet."

In the United States evangelicals are strongly opposed to theistic evolution. It is interesting that Lord Carey uses that language as a Church of England Preacher. The Anglican Church is similar to the Episcopal Church in the United States. It is not considered evangelical at all.
