More than half of adults in a survey of 10 countries thought school science lessons should teach evolutionary theories alongside creationism. The countries in survey were Argentina, China, Egypt, Great Britain, India, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Spain, and USA.
Among those who knew of Darwinism, on average 53% felt other possible perspectives should also be taught. The higher percentage of those who feel this way were Argentina ( 68% ) , and Great Britain ( 60 % ).
The highest proportion agreeing that evolutionary theories alone should be taught was in India, at 49%, followed by Spain (42%).
1/5 people in China and in South Africa thought other perspectives ( other than evolutionary theories ) should be taught.
However, the debate over creationism and evolutionary theories are somewhat difficult because
the theory is a scientific point of view, and the creationism is a religious perspective.
In Japan, the evolutionary theories are widely known but not so many people know the creationism. If they learned creationism, though, I think its hard for them to believe the perspective because the majority of them don't believe in Christianity.
