Interesting that a quarter of the Bulgarian population is “not sure” about the validity of evolution theory. What is it about Bulgaria that inspires so much uncertainty?
This Wiki-snippet doesn’t help:
Most Bulgarians (82.6%) belong, at least nominally, to the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, the national Eastern Orthodox Church. Other religious denominations include Islam (12.2%), various Protestant denominations (0.8%) and Roman Catholicism (0.5%); with other denominations, atheists and undeclared totalling approximately 4.1%.
But the recent emergence of “one of Europe’s most bitter [theological and political] schisms” involving the pre- and post-communist Bulgarian Orthodox Church might offer a clue.

Clue schmue, Bulgaria only reminds me of the excellent series
The Gravy Train,
(screened on ABCTV a few years back)
where truckloads of plums for jam were shipped back and forth pointlessly. It was fabulous satire and has skewed my view of Bulgaria forever.
