God - 1, Science - 0

A recent Gallup poll revealed more folks believe in God's creation of humans than evolution.

Okay. How can you ask someone if she thinks evolution has enough evidence to support it and she says no (less than 50%), and then have the same person actually think God created humans, 10,000 years ago, essentially as they are (more than 33%)? At least some folks said they weren't sure (29%)...but with the numbers combined that means over 50% of Americans either think God created humans or they don't know for sure.

Obviously, evidence is irrelevant. And these folks sit on juries?

Folks, a friend of mine once said he thinks belief in God is a mental illness, or, that it took a certain form of mental derangement to believe in God. I don't know if that's true, but I believe it could be a form of mental derangement that allows one to accept faith in the face of NO evidence (fundamentalism) over reason in the face of proven evidence (science).

When liberals run the govenrment again, and national health-care is finally instituted, I think fundamentalists should be allowed access to faith-healers only, not M.D.'s; that would take care of their powers of reason (or their proportion in society) right quick...

Can I get an Amen?
