Good. Just one more way we're more sensible than any other culture or society on the planet.
They report this like it's a bad thing that most Americans don't believe the Darwinism lies.
Since the 34 countries are being led down a wrong-path like sheep to slaughter, US doesn't want to follow.
Allegation anecdotally proven.
The disciples of the evolution faith wish to shove it down our throats by force if necessary.
What a bunch of BS. The leftist professors just can't resist spending their time doing "studies" that supposedly show that the US is more backward than the rest of the world.
I wonder how many Turkish goat herders they polled and whether they really understood genetics and biology.
Maybe these professors should pack their bags and go teach in Uzbekistan, where they apparently have better appreciation for this than they do in the US.
Evolution gave us God.
Atheism is a statistical abberance and is evolutionarily retrograde since it is essentially on par with the rest of the inferior animal kingdom.
It is not coincidence that the rgeatest expansion of science, wealth and technology has occured in Christian dominated nations.
It is no coincidence that the greatest, most free, most prosperous, most powerful nation evolution has ever created was founded upon Christian values, and is still dominated by over 70% Christians.
No coincidence at all.
That Americans reject evolution is not a concern.
That Americans don't know that all plants and animals have DNA is a bigger concern, but I seriously doubt that claim. It's possible Americans tuned out all discussion of genetics when the obvious fraud of evolution was so adamently pushed on them. But their other statistics appear biased, I bet this one is too.
This article is an obvious hit piece. It dredges up the myth that Christians believed in a flat earth. It falsely claims that scientists don't doubt evolution. It claims major political parties are making anti-evolution part of their platform, which is false. And it tries to minimize evolution doubters as "a small but vocal group of Christians", yet the article admits only 40% of Americans accept evolution.
But even these numbers are high according to recent polls. 77% of Republicans reject evolution of humans from another species. And so do a majority of democrats.
This article seems to imply that opinions about evolution held by average Americans somehow impact research. They don't.
Kids who develop an interest in science will square it with their religious beliefs one way or another. I doubt that there are a number of potential Nobel prize winners digging ditches today instead of doing gene mapping because of religious issues.
We still seem to have all the scientists we need to remain on the bleeding edge of research.
Somehow I find it more pressing to have the 900million "peaceful" muslims denounce the 100million militant terrorist muslism.
This is silly. It is a bit like decrying that so few people speak Latin. Genetics is a specialized field and evolution contributes only marginally to the science. Where it might matter is that a research might suffer professionally if he didn't hold to the conventional wisdom of those in the department. He might not advance for the same reasons that a conservative in sociology might not advance: he can't get anone to publish because his reputation makes him suspect.
Oh noooooooooooooooo, we're all going to die!
Really? Which parties would those be?
What a preposterous piece of balderdash.
What a crock. Conservative Christians desire a rigorous examination of genetics and other biological disciplines. It is not us, but evolutionists, who are running away from objective science by stacking one untenable hypothesis upon another!
Teach the students the FACTS of genetics, and then let them draw their own logical conclusions about whether such marvelous complexity organized itself.
But my biggest problem (among many) with evolution is not scientific. It has to do with my faith. I believe humans are different from animals because we have souls. But what was the dividing line between ape and human? If we evolved from apes, at what point did we get our souls? Did God one day decide that every ape that had a certain mutation would get a soul, but the other apes were just out of luck because they weren't "human" enough? What was the genetic mutation that suddenly made apes human enough to warrant souls?
I hope I'm making myself clear enough on this issue, since stuff like this tends to get muddled when you try to explain it in writing, but if anyone who believes both in God and in evolution has a reasonable resonse to this, I'd love to hear it.
darn, why are we such a third world country? oh wait, we're the only superpower?? But this article suggests
Oh thats right, this is nothing more than a bash America article.
US leads the world in skepticism of authority.
"A comparison of peoples' views in 34 countries finds that the United States ranks near the bottom when it comes to public acceptance of evolution. Only Turkey ranked lower."
I guess we are better off than I thought we were.
