This survey says that 48% of Americans do not believe in evolution. As if that isn't scary enough, 34% of COLLEGE EDUCATED people do not believe in evolution either.
How in the heck can it be that people are college educated and don't believe in evolution? They must have gone to the Jerry Farwell "schools" of indoctrination. How do they think we got here then? Creationism? This makes me very nervous for the future, and explains a lot of problems we have in America with religion and science.

Polls are never a dependable place to base worries off of. I don't find this alarming or cause for concern at all.
I agree with Music Man...
Anyhow, just to add a tid bit to the discussion--I go to a Catholic highschool, and even in biology there we were taught the theory of evolution.
It is a bit odd though meeting people who don't believe in it. Quite a while ago I was eating lunch with someone who didn't, and it was an interesting discussion to say the least.
Of course, she's the type of person who is convinced everything she says is right, and I couldn't even get half of my thoughts said.

Ha ha! Luckily I'm not the type that will get offended with kind of statement. But in my defense, not all women are like that. Although I do know alot of females who behave that way.

That's why I put this here...for discussion.
I'm not particularly worried about it either, but I think it explains a lot.

im always wary of statistics,esp when it comes from the USA.it never seems to ring true anywhere else in the world.
apparantly 99.9% of QZ'ers have had enough of innuendo1990 but im sure its higher than that

Yeah. Who needs logic?
Sure! Let's ignore something that actually happens every time we breed (ever notice how people are living longer, getting taller, things like that?).
Believing in God is fine, but I'm sick of pandering to fanatical nitwits in other countries that want to start teaching Creationism in the schools where I live. I'm also sick of calling evolution a 'theory' just to keep said nitwits happy.
Belief in a deity or deities does not preclude a bit of common sense, surprisingly. Why can't it be a case of God 'starting' evolution or whatever, as opposed to God making the earth 4000 years ago and simply making hundred-million-year old fossils just to poke fun at us?

Freedom of belief is almost 100% a good idea. However, when it comes to Creationism or Scientology (as if anyone actually believes that shit) we really ought to do our best to excise it from the public consciousness.
