Oh boy! Woop-de-****ing-doo! Only half of the people who voted for Kerry can be demonstrably shown to be idiots! What proof that liberals are intelligent!

Evolution is not something one believes in. It is a basic fact of this universe, like gravity and atoms.

mng believes in creationism.
mng believes that apple is god.

it may be a false correlation, but it seems as if one/two-trick ponies who are rather fanatic about those one/two things believe really stupid things.

Even worse, they seem to be under the impression that it's better to be taught [science] by someone with a science background rather than a priest. I'll bet it's that scurrilous Dan Rather chap again, trying to make yet more children sell their souls to Satan

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.

Nah. I'm perfectly willing to admit that a majority of smarter people voted Kerry this time around, and they did so for good and legitimate reasons. I still prefer Bush though.

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

(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.

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.

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.

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.
