CBS Poll: Creationism Trumps Evolution

[Agathon]

If a man is not a socialist by the time he is 20, he has no heart.
If he is not a conservative by the time he is 40, he has no brain.

Actually, I'd be inclined to say the opposite is true. You have to be young and naive to fall for Bush's crap.

That's a quote from pre-war Europe. Bush's politics is off the scale, and thus inapplicable.

I'll take option two. I think CBS is lying about one point just to make religious people sound stupid. CBS apparently believes that left-educated folks are more educated than those who got a sensible education.

(CBS) Americans do not believe that humans evolved, and the vast majority says that even if they evolved, God guided the process. Just 13 percent say that God was not involved.

IOW, CBS is lying about this too.

Actually, Wiglaf is a Mac/Linux advocate. He always bashes Windows.

Bush also likes Apple.

see edit.

The shame... the shame...

You forgot Rush Limbaugh..

But then again Kerry and Clinton used macs IIRC

Left-wing politicians in the United States are the ones mostly responsible for the teaching of evolution in our public schools, so evolution is a left-wing thing at least in the United States.

Leftism and stupidity are not mutually exclusive unfortunately.

Naivety doesn't age discriminate. Brain cells don't replace themselves as you get older.

I forgot. Douglas Adams was a mac user. So it doesn't matter how many right wing nut jobs you pile on, we're still cooler.

Thank you.

Almost 50% of the Kerry voters this time around cover their ears and shout "I'm not listening" when confronted with scientific fact. And I'm sure that a few more are idiots for other reasons. The majority of conservatives as well, are idiots, as is proven by this poll. So let's just both face the fact that both of our sides have a sizeable majority of stupid people.

That's still about 20% less than the Bush voters.

And let's not forget that there is a such thing as biased education. Practically all public education is biased towards the left. It's no wonder why our young people are so leftist.

I call BS on that statement.

In the Channel One teen mock election (the largest ever conducted) Dubya won by a larger margin than in the national election, and in the weekly reader one Bush also won.

Bipartisan consensus: people are stupid

uhmmm... young people are more liberal... we are the only age group that the majority voted Kerry...

And yet in the face of such wanton idiocy people still accuse communists of wanting to do away with democracy.

For some reason, acknowledging that statement and the fact that 1/2 of the population of the world's most powerful nation are as dumb as slow rocks doesn't make me feel better.

On a day to day basis, I dont see much (if any) difference between belief in a supreme being or belief in science. E=mc2 is as much magic as the virgin birth.
