From John Looney
Regarding your article on the attitude of Americans to evolution, I was shocked to find that 24 per cent of my fellow Irish answered “false” (19 August, p 11).
In the US at least, the issue is political and gets discussed in the news, so people can have a chance of learning both sides of the argument. But in many European countries we have a much larger problem with ignorance than we thought.
