Closet Slashdotters: The 'Intellectually Curious'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-call-me-a-nerd dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Slashdotters are certified geeks, but apparently there's a bunch of other people out there who are very interested in science, technology, politics and culture but they don't want to be known as geeks. A media consulting firm called OMD did a study for the company that owns Space.com and LiveScience. They conclude that 60 million Americans can be called "intellectually curious." Intellectually, I'm curious what that makes the rest of them."

    I'm really getting sick and tired of people bashing on people who believe in Creationism. What's the big deal that I (and millions of other people) choose to believe that there is a god out there. It doesn't mean we don't believe in science or that we think evolution is satan's tool to fool the masses. There is absolutely no reason that belief in God cannot go hand in hand with science. Some people, like myself, believe that belief in God DOES go hand in hand with science.

    I would agree with you.

    I actually believe that god (not God, or Allah, etc) did create the world... but not as the Bible would have you believe it. He/She/It created the universe(s) and it's rules, which has led to where It all is now. Intentionally or not? Not my place to say - what matters is that things are the way they are.

    Please don't flame me for my completely banannas views :)
