Most Americans do not accept the theory of <\/p>\n
evolution. Instead, 51 percent of Americans say God created humans in their present form, and another three in 10 say that while humans <\/p>\n
evolved, God guided the process. Just 15 percent say humans evolved, and that God was not involved.<\/p>\n

the record, I am with that 15 percent. And, though I sincerely believe in a diversity of views and mutual tolerance, I see that 51 <\/p>\n
percent as part of a New American Dark Ages (NADA). I know they aren’t all bible-thumping literalists who believe there were dinosaurs <\/p>\n
in Eden and on the Ark; but a frightening number of them are and this ignorance<\/em> is clearly contagious and <\/p>\n
spreading.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This poll was conducted among a nationwide random sample of 808 adults<\/strong>, interviewed by <\/p>\n
telephone October 3-5, 2005. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus four percentage <\/p>\n
points.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, I’ll believe in god before I put too much stock in divining the views of 300 <\/p>\n
million people from the responses of 808. Those who trust polls and statistics are welcome to explain their validity in comments. You’ll <\/p>\n
find me as hard to move as Jesus on a dinosaur. mjh<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
