==Acceptance== {{Main|Acceptance of evolution by religious groups}} According to [[Eugenie Scott]]: "In one form or another, Theistic Evolutionism is the view of creation taught at the majority of [[mainline Protestant]] [[seminaries]], and despite the Catholic Church having no official position, it does support belief in it. Studies show that acceptance of evolution is lower in the United States than in Europe or Japan; among 34 countries sampled, only [[Turkey]] had a lower rate of acceptance than the United States.<ref name=miller-et-al>{{cite journal |doi=10.1126/science.1126746 |title=Science Communication: Public Acceptance of Evolution |year=2006 |last1=Miller|first1=J.
