  The deleted section notes that the 45% of Americans who answered  
"true" to the statement: "Human beings, as we know them today,  
developed from earlier species of animals" is similar to the  
percentage in previous years and much lower than in Japan (78%),  
Europe (70%), China (69%), and South Korea (64%). A similar gap exists  
for the response to the statement: "The universe began with a big  
explosion,” with which only 33% of Americans agreed.
