> ABSTRACT - New national survey finds that overwhelming majority of Americans think that creationism should be taught along with Darwin's theory of evolution in public schools; some scientists characterize seemingly contradictory findings as quixotic effort by public to accommodate incompatible world views; but in some ways, even as Americans argue over what students should be taught about human origins, poll offers encouragement to both sides in debate; survey's results are released by People for the American Way Foundation, liberal civil rights group that commissioned poll, which was conducted by DYG Inc; survey, in results emphasized by foundation, finds that 83 percent of Americans generally support teaching of evolution in public schools; also finds that 79 percent of Americans think creationism has a place in public school curriculum--though respondents often say topic should be discussed as a belief rather than a competing scientific theory (M) <font>
