Are Americans really this stupid?

[Mr. dB]

Whenever someone tells me "I didn't evolve from no monkey!" I generally reply "Then obviously you must still be one."

 

[javaguru]

America is a stupid country...

I'd think the 39% depends on how they asked the question. Microevolution is probably more accepted than 39%. Evolution as the origins of all life is probably less accepted.

:sigh: I expect better from you. Evolution doesn't address the "origin of life" and "micro evolution"/"macro evolution" are the same damned thing with some arbitrary difference in time scales made up by theists to claim Jesus,Allah, Zeus or the Great JUJU on The Mountain did it.

the last hour of that movie is pure bliss. Once the shooting starts, I'm just stroking myself in the back of the theater. People got ruined in that movie in way's I've never seen before outside a video game.

what do you mean by ruined? Wasn't that little kid lizard cute! District 9 was different.

The harsh reality is:

1) Evolution is true.

2) Evolution still can't explain how we got here.

I don't believe some gray-bearded deity whisked us into existence. But I also don't believe a couple hundred thousand amino acids lined-up perfectly on the backside of a perfectly imperfect crystal and got stuck by just the right cosmic ray either.

When it comes to the origins of life, I'm perfectly fine accepting the fact that we just don't know right now. Trying to overgeneralize a fundamentally good theory such as evolutionary adaptation to explain the origins of life seems just as silly as the ridiculous religiously-based theories.

Sometimes it's A-OK to not have the answer.

What did they do, poll from a corner of birmingham, alabama?

There's no way that's an accurate gauge.

well you're a woman so I'm not surprised you've suppressed the gruesome (ie awesome) death's at the hands of those alien weapons. C'mon, remember the tornado gun? The one that blew the back of that shack out along with all those nigerians........that thing gave me a halfie, no lie. Can you just imagine having that thing in traffic? You could just lean out the window and clear yourself a quick route to work.............simply awesome!
