I don’t want to discuss it on this thread, but don’t forget about what’s on my profile page!

Ah. So you're an HIV-doesn't-cause-AIDS nutter. Not surprising. People rarely embrace only one pseudoscience. I don't recall all the instances off the top of my head but, I've noticed in passing at various times that most FR antievolutionists believe firmly in some other variety of lunacy. For instance just the other day I noticed that one of you guys (although I don't remember who) is promoting chiropractic on their homepage. IIRC we also have believers in Atlantis, UFOs and psychic powers.

“What Americans Really Believe,” a comprehensive new study released by Baylor University yesterday, shows that traditional Christian religion greatly decreases belief in everything from the efficacy of palm readers to the usefulness of astrology. It also shows that the irreligious and the members of more liberal Protestant denominations, far from being resistant to superstition, tend to be much more likely to believe in the paranormal and in pseudoscience than evangelical Christians.

The Gallup Organization, under contract to Baylor’s Institute for Studies of Religion, asked American adults a series of questions to gauge credulity. Do dreams foretell the future? Did ancient advanced civilizations such as Atlantis exist? Can places be haunted? Is it possible to communicate with the dead? Will creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster someday be discovered by science?

The answers were added up to create an index of belief in occult and the paranormal. While 31% of people who never worship expressed strong belief in these things, only 8% of people who attend a house of worship more than once a week did ...
