[Placebo]

Yes: 31% 39523 votes

No: 69% 86062 votes

Total: 125,585 votes

>>You can still vote in it, @ the bottom of the CNN.com homepage.

>>>Folks, the fact that even 31% said that it should be taught in schools, is the reason that this country is going to pure hell.

1. and that is truly bush's base

just like nazi germany... welcome to the new world order...

[Zuni]

6. Well, Nazis weren't for creationism

but the idea that an extremist fringe has taken power is comparable

[still_one]

2. Screw CNN, who gives a damn about their polls

[oldtime dfl_er]

7. you beat me to it

But I'll say it too. Screw CNN -- who cares about their polls?

[JohnKleeb]

3. lord have mercy

:puke:
It shouldn't be, funny that creationism though is being brought up because Inherit the Wind is playing at the school I think next week. Creationism is something you should learn in church or if you go to a privately funded school not a publically funded school, I hate to say it but perhaps we are going to hell as a country, dumbass fuckers.

[Zuni]

8. I agree---Creationism is for Churches

and if some choose to believe it, the more power to them. But Public Schools should be the domain of empirically provable science.

[JohnKleeb]

15. you got that right man

I can respect people who choose to believe it, it's forcing it on us the kids that is wrong.

[Booster]

17. And they should teach evolution, which is much more

factually based.

[JohnKleeb]

19. of course they should teach evolution

[BlueJazz]

18. You're a much better person than me cause, try as I may,

...I can't respect anybody who believes in that nonsense.

[Warren DeMontague]

4. Thanks for the info, next time please post a link

http://www.cnn.com/

For the lazy, like me.


And you're right, it's mind-boggling.

5. that actually follows

this site's percentage of the number of people who believe the Bible is word for word literal - 33.5%

9. That is even scarier...

:scared:

[stepnw1f]

10. 39K voted for it.... Screw These Nut Jobs

Keep you goddamn religion away from my fuckin tax dollars! You dellussional power hungry hypocrites.

[immoderate]

11. Demand equal time for the Great Pumpkin.

12. The wording is usual CNN BS...

They simply ask, "Should Creationism be taught in school?"

The thing is, though, that that wording leaves out the whole issue of in what context it would be taught at school--as part of a comparative religion course, as part of a "comparative science" course, or as the only valid scientific and religious argument?

I'm sure many people said yes, with either of the first two options in their mind (they're still wrong, but not because they're Fundies).

[BlueEyedSon]

13. OK, as long as they teach evolution in Sunday School

Idiots!

[goddess40]

14. Sure as long as both sides of it can be shown

and other creations myths can be compared to it.

[NuttyFluffers]

16. CNN is now irrelevant --

pass on the revelation.

ps: turn it off.

20. In Imperial Amerika: ONLY Creationism should be taight in schools

It will hasten the final transformation of our Imperial Tyranny that much quicker.

It will more quickly create the fertile breeding ground for ignorant Imperial Slaves who will more readily perform great evils for their AmeriTaliban Masters.

Fuck it, let's gets the monstrous show on the ROAD! Enough waiting!

[Rush1184]

21. I think we need some DUers to go vote in that poll
