I don't know, jar. Most christians that I have talked to do not have a clue how the hell evolution works. This is strictly from my limited experiences, of course.

I wasn't talking about religous organizations. I was talking about individuals. Most christian individuals I've talked to accept wholeheartedly the creation account as being literal. Most christians individuals I have talked to are completely against the theory of evolution even though they haven't got a clue.
In fact, I once attended a catholic mass in Kentucky where the priest was flaming about how "evil" the scientific method was and how "evil" evolutionists were. He said that people shouldn't try to use (and I quote) "the brain" to figure out god's will, since god is beyond any human comprehension.
I understand that, officially, the majority of the main christian denominations out there accept evolution. I'm just not so sure about the followers of those religions.

I'm going to assume that you meant non-religious people. In that case, most non-religious people I have talked to do not give a rat's ass regarding the issue. Most christians that I have talked are clueless. The difference is the christians are the ones that always try to give their ignorant opinions as facts.
If we are talking about non-christian religious people, they are even more clueless than their christian brothers.
What I'm trying to get at is that many atheists I have talked to at least either try to sound like they know what they're talking about or admit their ignorance. That, I think, is something that most christians seem to lack.
