Seems reasonable enough, though this isn't a political belief since imo it's perfectly possible to be a creationist and a liberal, the fact that there is a relationship between far-right and creationism is incidental to christian fundamentalism. I think this is more a linear educational issue to a relative political one.

In the UK, though I have no numbers, I'd imagine the creationists are a sizeable minority, but significantly outnumbered by the evolutionists. In Europe it's not really a matter of serious debate, the vast and overwhelming majority of scientists are evolutionists and the population tends to go along with that. Also in the US there is no serious debate in intellectual circles about creationism because it is deemed BS, though the population of course lack the qualification to deem it so. I guess us Europeans are just more intelligent jk

So are the Indians . No one in India seriously doubts evolution . We don't let our religious beliefs interfere with our perception of the real world .

Demographically, the article reports, belief that evolution is well-supported by the evidence is strongest "among those with the most education, liberals, those living in the West, those who seldom attend church, and ... Catholics," and weakest among "those with the least education, older Americans ..., frequent church attendees, conservatives, Protestants, those living in the middle of the country, and Republicans."


See? The Protestant reformation was reactionary

So there are more semiliterate cretins in the US than educated people. This is what you're cheering about?

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Not much worse than Shi's cheering about how people being woefully and willfully ignorant of facts to support their beliefs is somehow a great sign for religion in America. What benefit is a religious revival if it's carried by falsehood?

Most of my family are devout Lutherans and they all think creationists are BS.
