American Theocracy, Pt. I

Since we're supposedly battling religious fanaticism, I guess the strategy is "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em".

Here in America- Science BAD! Religion GOOD!

So says the results of a new Gallup poll-

A Gallup report released today reveals that more than half of all Americans, rejecting evolution theory and scientific evidence, agree with the statement, "God created man exactly how Bible describes it."

Another 31% says that man did evolve, but "God guided." Only 12% back evolution and say "God had no part."...

Excuse me for a second... [runs outside] AAAARRGGGGHHHHHHH! [runs back in]..... Okay, I'm back.

And the kicker-

Newport wraps it up: "Several characteristics correlate with belief in the biblical explanation for the origin of humans. Those with lower levels of education, those who attend church regularly, those who are 65 and older, and those who identify with the Republican Party are more likely to believe that God created humans 'as is,' than are those who do not share these characteristics."

'Nuff said.
