But I believe that a large proportion of Americans, influenced by religious beliefs, do not accept the theory of evolution as being valid, despite the weight of a staggering amount of hard science supporting it. Global warming is the same - many people refuse to accept what's staring them in the face if it goes against their view of how they want the world to be.
