One Third of Americans don't believe in Evolution.

[Geilinor]

I'm surprised it's so low actually.

I am too. We better start lobbying for more Creationism.

God damn these godmamn Satanic atheist devildogs teaching that the world was made without God! I mean, WHO THE FUCK DO THESE ATHEIST THINK THEY ARE!?

[Genivaria]

It's in large part due to the massive fights in the 70's and 80's with the "monkey's no cousin of me" songs, and anti-evolution campaigns.
It's widely accepted by young to middle age americans that evolution is true.
Dus Ex Machina or "god did it" doesn't fly as a reason with anyone born after 1985.

boy are you for a surprise .

While it's not quite what he makes it out to be it is true that the Millennial Generation is the single most irreligious generation in American history.

Let people believe what they want to believe. If anything, this is proof of several things.

A. Left wing hypocrisy: "We have to respect foreign governments and their religions and customs!" but here? No, they're stupid.
B. Proof we should abolish the shitty public school system.
C. Left-wing intolerance, "Well, 1/3 of Americans are idiots. They're what's wrong with America! Death to creationists!"

Yet another chapter in wacky tales of the left wing.

It isn't proof of anything unless you've got the statistics to back it up.

[Sociobiology]

Great, now to respect your believes I would like to recommend that you switch away from heretical modern medicine that has its foundation on evolutionary BS and go to alternate medicine.

I do not in fact worship modern medicine; a lot of it is crap and the whole lot is much too costly.

you are alive and statistically you or one of your parents can thank modern medicine for that.

That's a big load of straw-manning bullshit you got there.

Maybe if you read some of the other comments you'd understand what I meant for A and C, but B I can understand your ignorance of.

Very simply put, all school systems in all states are meant to indoctrinate the students with whatever ideology the government of that state has. For instance, Texas teaches creationism in its schools because the politicians like it. Curriculum is always left or right wing.

Read the other comments instead of calling bullshit. C especially is evident around here.

inb4 I'm an intolerant fuck, but when two thirds of the nation believe a story book over science, is that not a notable problem? Freedom of belief only goes so far you know, it might be a little different if they weren't going to pass their beliefs onto future generations.

That's simply an argument of why the school system should be run by the Federal government. And no curriculum is not ALWAYS partisan. Such generalizations don't help the conversation.

You can't just go, "wait, their beliefs are wrong, this isn't what I meant".

There's nothing to say to A or C besides the fact that all you're really saying is rhetoric. That's it.

As for B, by that logic, any school, public or private, is therefore indoctrinal.

Yeah, but if I'm paying for the school, I don't want them to drill beliefs into my child's head (at least ones that I don't agree with).

Your child will become exposed to beliefs you don't agree with no matter where they go to school.

Really, just think about this.

How is this a left wing thing? Why do you think the right wing supports ignorance?

Quite the opposite.

I don't know why people insist on politicizing the curriculum. Math is math, biology is biology. Not left or right.

If I didn't believe in evolution, I'd probably want my kids to not believe in it too. In many states they only teach creationism. People who like evolution wouldn't want their kids to become creationists.

Science is not a matter of belief. Gravity isn't something you "believe" in, so why should evolution be?

You're missing my point. If you believe that, why would you want to pay for your kids to learn creationism and become creationists?

Science is not about "belief" like religion. Science is about facts.
