    Except that there are a significant number of people who do not believe in evolution. The number in the millions. The members of the Flat Earth Society (who actually believe the Earth to be flat, as opposed to those members who joined as a joke) number in the low dozens.

    Just because a large number of people believe in something does not make it fact. Plenty of people, especially in the USA, believe in Iraqi WMDs. Similarly lots of people believe that UFOs are alien spacecraft.
