That is somewhat of an over-generalization, because many Americans do believe in Darwin's theory of evolution, but there are certainly a great many who don't. Evotution is seen by some people as competing with The Bible. The bible says that God created life (apparently by magic) and evolution describes a different way that life could have come into existence without requiring divine intervention. Fundamentalist Americans prefer the bible to science.

It is not forbidden by Catholicism to believe in evolution.

How many Americans believe in creationism vs darwinism?

The general public in the USA is split roughly three ways: - Those who hold to a more or less literal reading of the Biblical account (some 30%) - Those who accept a naturalistic evolution (another 30%) - Those who believe in a form of theistic evolution (some 20%) (The remaining 20% didn't say.) Note that these figures are completely different if one polls only the higher educated people, or the scientific community, where support for evolution is pretty much complete.
