Recent findings from the Next Mormons Survey can help shed additional light on this question. The Next Mormons Survey asked two questions related to evolution and human origins; respondents were asked to express their level of belief in two separate statements. 13% accept God-guided evolution and reject the idea that Adam and Eve were separately created by God outside of this process. Why would Republicans in general be less likely to believe in (even God-guided) evolution compared to Democrats? Among American Mormons specifically, this same survey showed that 11% of Mormons believe in atheistic evolution, 29% in God-guided evolution, and 52% reject human evolution altogether.
