Your post #305 and #307, are really nothing but wishful thinking on your part...no way does the majority of Americans reject evolution...every single trustworthy poll done on this, has reflected just about an even split on this subject....what those polls have consistently asked the participants, are two different things...The first question is usually, . do you consider yourself to be a Christian?...the majority of people answering the poll answer yes, thats true...and that is where many creationists/Ider advocates stop reading...they somehow believe that if one considers themselves to be Christians, that naturally they reject evolution...however take note of the second question..How do you believe that living beings on earth came to be in their present form? Here there is really a divide, which seems to be 50/50 at best...actually the division is divided up among three answers...1. Gods creation 2. evolution 3.either dont know or some other method...if one looks and understands and comprehends what these polls say, one must see that many of those polled, do claim to be Christian, and still support evolution...

Your remark that most Americans reject evolution is at best, wishful thinking on your part...and its incorrect...

The polls do not show a 50/50 split. Sorry. It showed, if memory serves, about half of America rejected it outright, while less than half believed something about the theory (eg micro 0r variation which is not exclusive to or specific of evolution).. in which case the numbers rejecting would be larger..

Really. No wishful thinking needed and it's getting worse for you as your number one fears travel the country opening eyes everywhere they go and saying the same things most americans actually believe - that evolution isn't much more than absurd quackery.

The great fears of the universe and the modern desecrators of liberal "truth" Ken Ham and Kent Hovind will be the end of Science as liberals know it. Come on and shriek for us to finish the picture .. bwahahahaha

Here is a real world example, in a strongly GOP county, which backs your position:

Pro-ID school board members in Dover, PA swept from office

______________________________

Presidential politics: Dover is in York County, which supported George W. Bush in the last two presidential elections. According to unofficial vote totals for 2004, Bush received 114,621 votes and John Kerry received 63,628 votes. [my note: that's about 64% for Bush!]

And note these two GOP figures backing away from ID in science classes:

Santorum, Taft back away from ID
