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."
in other words, 46% of americans are dumb
And, apparently, 15% of the people think so. Damn, we put a lot of effort into an argument whose result, whatever it may be, has so little practical applicaiton.
Yes, because the 21% are the sensible ones.
So the universe started as a quantum vacuum.
If that's the case, prove it's not a divinely created quantum vacuum.
If I'm wrong, I loose nothing. If I'm right, you lose everything.
I live among Christian Taliban and the White Trash they infect with various levels of their nonsense.
I don't doubt the poll. The Southern US is particularly infested with these simpletons.
"This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
Do you really think that by claiming to be an atheist means you're more fit to vote?
Seriously? Has slashdot finally succumbed to "old man" disease, and can't resist rehashing the same old boring "news"?
We have the beginning of a face-eating (zombie) up-rising, the incipient demise of the euro, and a daily barrage of advances in science, medicine, and technology -- and all slashdot can come up with is that a whole bunch of Americans are weird? The fact is that the US is economically, culturally, and militarily the world's superpower. When you're not only #1, but #1 over the next two or three *combined*, only a fool would sneer at your "stupidity". For all anyone knows, the qualities that make the US insanely great require "irrational" optimism and exhuberance.
So, how about them zombies?
