Only 1 in 5 Americans believe in pure evolution

So even Theistic Evolution is out?  That's actually an extreme view.  TE isn't ID after all.

True, but it is science with a dollop of religion.  And aside from BB, not a whole lot of scientific theories get that disservice.  We don't subscribe to plate tectonics with the additional claim that Poseidon's enraged thrashing causes plate movement.  Such an injection of religion into secular science (aka science) would strike one as ridiculous on any other topic.
