"Believe in" isn't quite the right phrase. You believe in articles of faith; you espouse scientific theories, and that's what evolution is. I definitely do espouse it, though, so I clicked "yes" on the survey even though "I believe in evolution" isn't really accurate.
At this point, anyone who doesn't think that some form of evolution and natural selection have taken place is ignoring the facts as surely as someone who insists the earth is flat. People are welcome to their beliefs, but if they believe in creationism or creation "science," well...I am welcome to think they're under-educated or gullible.
Thinking the earth is flat seems more reasonable to me than not recognizing in evolution. To personally see that the earth is spherical requires going to a great altitude and testing that it is spherical while not very difficult requires effort. Whereas the evidence for evolution can be personally witnessed easily and is intuitively true.
Don't get me wrong the earth is spherical but recognizing the vast evidence for evolution actually requires a far greater ignorance than even flat earth beliefs. If it wasn't for religion it would almost never be denied.
Do you believe in evolution?
