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."

Definition of moron: any person who isn't perfect (meaning: me) for any and all values of "me".

Gee, I wonder where the stereotype of the know-it-all-but-knows-nothing arrogant Slashdotter comes from?

Here we have the proposal for the one-party no-democracy system, in which a single viewpoint is mandated and all others are forced to obey. Here we have the hypocracy of the Slashdotter claiming to stand for "freedom" but who actually means "I'm fine with tyranny as long as I get to be the tyrant". Here we have the reason why the rest of the world still holds self-labelled intellectual elites in such base contempt.
