Wow. Only 14% of Americans can understand a simple scientific fact without invoking sky fairy magic for it. This means 86% of Americans are uneducated hicks. This is disgraceful. I live in a country infested with idiots.
]]>1 – the title of the letter (maybe put there by NS?) is “Creationism in decline.”
2 – the terminology the author uses when he talks about the evolutionist figures is quite different from the mentions of creationism. The language used seems to convey the feeling the author is trying to say creationism is going down (“lowest value occurring in 2007”) and evolution is on the rise (“high of 14% in 2007”).
Now, conversely, I had never previously thought creationism was increasing… (although it is now actually gaining an educational foothold in the UK… How can that be if it belief of it is not on the rise?)
