Only 15% of Americans accept evolution.

[Enadail]

The combination of his unusual syntax and the fact that he went to school in France suggest that English may not be his first language.

Its actually not
French and Dutch-Afrikaans is my first and second

English is my 3rd

Which of course ignores that no one could understand what you're talking about. So how about you explain what the difference between adaptation and evolution is, as far as you're concerned?

[The God-Realm]

Nuke the USA.

[AiliailiA]

Hey, I wasn't either.

My mother was a hedonistic hipster chav before it was cool

Well my mother was a hedonistic hippy chauvinist and she could beat yours in a tit-wrestle any day.

I keep telling her she should post on General but for some reason she's not interested.

Your English is way better than my French or Dutch, so I'm not trying to dig at you here. Just saying that I think it may be impacting your ability to get your points across.

[Zimmer Twins]

This doesn't really matter. People can believe whatever they want to.

[AiliailiA]

Mutation: evolution for dummies.

Your probably right my tone is not exactly lingually correct.

Spot the irony, the game.

solution, immigrate to a more intelligent country

[Ifreann]

Yes.
The same is thought of people who believe the world to be flat.

You do know that that ''they believed the world was flat in the old days''-saying is bullocks, right?

People did once believe the world was flat. But this wasn't a couple hundred years ago, this was way back when people had no concept of a world beyond Those Mountains Over There or The Big Scary River. And hey, fair enough. What little they could see of the world basically is flat. Once we started venturing a bit further afield, we figured out that the Earth was round pretty quick. Granted, most people wouldn't have cared, it was only the well off philosopher types that ever really thought about it. Your average man on the street didn't have the time for that kind of thing.

"Linguistically".

Shorter words, shorter sentences. It does seem you have something to say.

There are people who still believe its flat. They are called the Flat Earth Society. They just say "It's fake." To any proof you have of it being round.

Why not? Also I do support evolution I am just saying that people can believe whatever they want.

Having dealt with them before, the infamous Tom Bishop specifically, I say Poe.

Going on the forum causes headaches.


I advise against it, unless you're seriously drunk and in need of humor.

He preached on this forum about three years ago, I remember. He got banned, I think.

Indeed, and I'd been on their forums with him before that. I'd say he's a very dedicated Poe and the people on the forums are joining in on the joke with a nudge and a wink, or they're there specifically to argue against all those people.

[Death Metal]

Nuke the USA.

Ugh, Nuke the USA hasn't been good in years. They should have never fired their drummer.

This is a few months old, but someone showed this to me today, and I was shocked.

Only 15% of Americans fully believe in evolution. 46% reject it outright. And the latter number has risen by 6% from the year before.

These are the sort of things that make me embarrassed to be American. This is 2013, not 1500. You would think that by now, most people would be able to accept basic science. I feel like if the religious right isn't stopped soon, we could be almost a theocracy in 20 or 30 years. Hopefully, something can change drastically. However, it's an understatement to say that I'm more than a little worried about the future of my country.


edited for grammar

The graph clearly shows 47% accepting evolution.
