The Darwin exhibition frightening off corporate sponsors

An interesting article at
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/11/20/wdarwin20.xm
l concerning the Darwin exhibition now on display at the American Museum of
Natural History in New York. Apparently they were unable to get any
corporate sponsors for this show. The article says that's because
"Creationism is increasingly widely backed in America. A CBS News poll last
month found that 51 per cent of Americans reject the theory of evolution,
believing instead that God created humans in their present form. Another
poll in August found that 38 per cent of Americans think that creationism
should be taught in schools, instead of evolution."

Astounding.

If such attitudes are so prevalent, how popular the idea that the workings
of the brain and the entirety of mind do not depend on any cosmic agency?

I gather from the article that it presents considerable evidence for
Darwin's ideas.
