What kind of Americans opposed Darwins theory of evolution and why did they do so?

Answer 1

We often debate the way a Baseball should be thrown or that someone wrote in an article that the way to hold a gun when shooting is THIS way not THAT way.
The people who oppose the idea of evolution are those who take the Christian bible literally.
Creationism is a religious belief. It says that all life began all at once just a few thousand years ago and has not changed.
Evolution says no to that view point. The universe is billions of years old and that things changed slowly over time and organisms adapt to survive in those changing environments.
These two will never agree and creationism should be seen in a religious light.
