They also provide a useful clue as to whether people are capable of a degree of rational thought, of course. In the case of the UK, I'm not too worried, we always come high up the list of developed countries when it comes to accepting science over myth, as befits our status as a powerhouse of scientific excellence (I give you Charles Darwin as Exhibit A).
No prizes for guessing who came bottom, yes, Turkey (what, you expected the USA? They're second bottom. Rah, rah).

* More sensibly, since creationism is an excellent religious belief but a lousy scientific theory (because it isn't one) and evolutionary biology is an excellent scientific theory but a lousy religious belief (because it's boringly material and tiresomely fact-based), the point of establishing any notional 'equality' between them is, at best, moot.
