You can't possibly be that insecure...?

All I want are religiously neutral courts, government,
public schools, et cetera, and public school systems that give no
credence to religious beliefs.

Default The 40% Anchor

In article ,
says...

A new Gallup poll, released Dec. 17, reveals that 40 percent of
Americans still believe that humans were created by God **within the
last 10,000 years.** This number is slightly down from a previous high
of 47 percent in 1993 and 1999.

Another 38 percent of respondents believe that humans have evolved from
more basic organisms but with God playing a role in the process.

A mere 16 percent of respondents subscribed to the belief of "secular
evolution": that humans have evolved with no divine guidance. However,
this number has nearly doubled from nine percent of respondents in a
poll from 1982.

The poll also revealed that beliefs in creationism and evolution are
strongly related to levels of education attained. When results are
narrowed to those with college degrees, only 37 percent of respondents
maintain beliefs in creationism. Meanwhile, the belief in evolution
without the aid of God rises to 21 percent.

With regards to political affiliation, a majority of Republicans (52
percent) subscribe to creationist beliefs. This is compared to only 34
percent among Democrats and Independents.

Views on human origins vary based on church attendance. Of those who
attend church on a weekly basis, 60 percent believe in creationism while
a mere 2 percent subscribe to "secular evolution".

These numbers are flipped among those who rarely or never attend
religious services. In this group, only 24 percent believe in
creationism while 39 percent believe in evolution without divine
guidance. This represents the only subset of data reported where
"secular evolution" beats out creationism.

"...within the last 10,000 years..."

What a crock.


Another Snotty for the Harry ID spoofer.
