Americans reject science!

No wonder we're being left in the dust by countries who believe in science!

Majority of Americans Reject Theory of Evolution
NEW YORK (Oct. 23) - Most Americans do not accept the theory of evolution. Instead, 51 percent of Americans say God created humans in their present form, and another three in 10 say that while humans evolved, God guided the process. Just 15 percent say humans evolved, and that God was not involved.

Americans most likely to believe in only evolution are liberals (36 percent), those who rarely or never attend religious services (25 percent), and those with a college degree or higher (24 percent).

White evangelicals (77 percent), weekly churchgoers (74 percent) and conservatives (64 percent), are mostly likely to say God created humans in their present form.

Still, most Americans think it is possible to believe in both God and evolution. Sixty-seven percent say this is possible, while 29 percent disagree. Most demographic groups say it is possible to believe in both God and evolution, but just over half of white evangelical Christians say it is not possible.

Of course, educated progressives are going to believe in the science of evolution as opposed to fairy tales, but this is boggling!
At least a majority believe that god & evolution can co-mingle and don't completely ignore the facts of life!
But man, we are going to become a 3rd world country at this rate!
