And on the seventh day, God created morons.

A new poll says the majorities of Americans now reject evolution. How ridiculous is this? We all learned this in school and the theory is sound and has been proven over and over again. Any of the people taking this poll ever been to a natural history museum? Ever noticed we have a tail bone? Ever noticed we have a pancreas? Ever heard of cavemen (like those wacky Flinstones!)? Ever even heard of science? Can they show me the part in the Bible where it mention dinosaurs, mastodans, and cro-magnum man? Is it before or after the part where I can have slaves and punish my wife for menstruating? Just asking, that's all.

I guarantee that if the poll was taken in 1999, the results would've been overwhelming in the other direction. Why? Because we didn't have a President then who claimed to speak to God and who gave power to the most fundamentalist and fanatical sect of our Christian population. Back then, the crazy Creationists were pointed out as the zealots they are. Now the President wants them influencing school curriculum. It's bad enough that the U.S. is now a disgrace in the world scientifically, but our children's education is paying the greatest price for this insanity.

Majority of Americans Reject Theory of Evolution

Most Americans do not accept the theory of evolution. Instead, 51 percent of Americans say God created humans in their present form, and another three in 10 say that while humans evolved, God guided the process. Just 15 percent say humans evolved, and that God was not involved...

...Americans most likely to believe in only evolution are liberals (36 percent), those who rarely or never attend religious services (25 percent), and those with a college degree or higher (24 percent)...


Yes, how odd those with a college degree would believe in evolution.

I forgot that the only textbook we need has a 'King James' edition.
