8. While some of us know that

2 + 2 = 22

[GAspnes]

2. I weep

although I guess one doesn't overturn thousands of years of mysticism with 300 years of reasoning.

Maybe we should look at this as progress.

[Gman]

3. And you wonder why people voted for Bush

there's your answer graphed.

4. I recall a study

about 15 years ago, that said that something like 75% of school teachers believe in angels.

I live in a liberal part of No. Calif. My daughter had a substitute teacher in public school. Whatever the subject was, a kid asked why nuns don't have babies. The teacher answered that nuns don't have menstrual periods. WTF?

The blind leading the blind gives us the results shown in that pie chart.

5. So, like, um...

Since when has Creationism been referred to as the "Theory of Creationism"?

7. since all words lost their meaning

[Onlooker]

6. Isn't that scary?

I really think if you switched Bush and Saddam, their would be no differences. Bush is restrained by our system of checks and balances, but if he had absolute power I have no doubt he would go after many different groups with a frenzy. He's a nutcase, but this study shows how ignorant we've become. Some of our forefathers would blush is they saw that poll, and they didn't even know about Darwin.
