Good thing Vision quoted it first.
From

And the first poll on the list that seems to be germane to the conversation is this;

Which says;
I edited the link because it turned out to be too difficult to find the poll I had in mind within the first site I linked to.
With regard to the poll you referenced, which compared evolution with intelligent design:
Apparently some physicians make a distinction between Darwinism and evolution, believing that God must have guided some sort of evolutionary process (i.e. theistic evolution). Thus, the majority reject Intelligent Design for reasons that are not entirely clear. Perhaps they believe, as is widely reported in the media, that ID is just another name for young earth creationists (i.e. creationism).
So why don't intelligent people believe that the Earth and universe are young, only thousands of years old and not billions?
As Balder once stated confidently, a young Earth (and universe) is impossible because stars are billions of light years away and yet we see them. So the Earth and universe must be billions of years old because nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, right?
This argument has never been sucessfully refuted (until now). The irony is that the Big Bang proponents themselves proposed the solution: inflation. They just didn't carry this mechanism, which they first proposed to solve the "horizon problem", to its logical conclusion.
