The thing that you don't mention is that only 9% of Americans believe in the Theory of Evolution. That's pretty telling since we're all taught it as though it were fact.

Yeah, it shows how much more intelligent Poly is than the real world.

That's like me saying that people who like the color blue are more intelligent because I like the color blue. That aint intelligent. It's plain stupid youngling.

That the real US, at least. They are bit better on this sort of stuff in Europe.

[q=Kid]If you really refuted it more people would agree with you. People aren't morons, if you're really proved something they will listen.[/q]

Saddam Hussein wasn't involved in 9/11. However, since so many people believe that he was, I guess that claim hasn't been proven, eh?

It hasn't been proven either way. If it were I would imagine that over time there would much more agreement on it, wouldn't you?

Blind faith means closing your eyes to facts. Who has closed their eyes, and to what facts?

The creationists. Duh.

I think it's high time to send Kid to a re-education camp.

Some do and some don't. There is no evidence that the universe was not created, so it's possible to believe that it was without blind faith. Many people do.

No, they're more intelligent because they believe in the theory supported by vast amounts of evidence as opposed to the theory supported by a book written by people thousands of years ago.

If you think you know something and 91% of the people have the same information that you do and they doubt it that means you are stupid. Whether or not evidence is significant or not is subjective, and you're only assuming to be more intelligent than most people for no good reason. That's pretty stupid.

By creationists one means people who don't believe in pure chemical evolution, but think that "god's hand guided it". I'll let "who made the big bang" argument out of the picture, for now.

If you think you know something and 91% of the people have the same information that you do and they doubt it that means you are stupid.

But they don't. Most people don't have the same information.

Let's go back to this claim: Not believing in the Theory of Evolution and having all the facts is not blind faith. What do you say to that?

But they don't. Most people don't have the same information.

Everyone who has graduated from high school has the information. What information do they not teach you in high school that would make the difference?
