In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins
An anonymous reader writes "The latest Gallup poll is out, and it finds that 46% of Americans hold the view that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years. According to Gallup, the percentage who hold this view has remained unchanged since 1982, when they first started asking the question. Roughly 33% of Americans believe in divinely guided evolution, and 15% believe that humans evolved without any supernatural help."
So you use a similar argument that the minister who believes that all gays should be jailed, because they are mentally ill? Nice....
If you choose not to believe in God, then that is your choice. Granted, I would wonder where you morals come from, and given your post above I can draw some conclusions....
The more I learn about science, the more my faith in God increases.
If I remember correctly, escaping the dictatorial rule of people with your point of view was one of the primary reasons this country was founded. To think that you know the "truth" about religion and everyone that disagrees with you is a moron pretty much makes you worse than most of those you despise. Congratulations on finding a way to use science to help you be as close minded and bigoted as the 18th century Church of England.
Actually, I usually find that Atheists have a much worse understanding of science and don't understand why science can't disprove God (one big reason being that science is based on OBSERVATION, and you can't observe a lack of something).
