It is sad to see that
58% of the U.S. citizenry believe the Earth is about 6,000 years old.
Another 24% believe that the Earth may be older, but that humans appeared
just the way we are today without evolving from other life forms. In other
words, 82% of the U.S. public believe in nonsense that science has conclusively
proven to be false. Imagine that dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth
together. No wonder other nations laugh at at us with attitudes like this.
I do not hate religion. However, I do have a distaste for those institutions
that deny science and the only "proof" they have is the Bible.
It is pathetic to see one deny the work of hundreds of thousands of scientists
and millions upon millions of pages of research and only be able to counter
this information with information from one flawed ancient book.
