Did Humans Evolve? Not Us, Say Americans

In surveys conducted in 2005, people in the United States and 32 European countries were asked whether to respond “true,” “false” or “not sure” to this statement: “Human beings, as we know them, developed from earlier species of animals.” The same question was posed to Japanese adults in 2001. The United States had the second-highest percentage of adults who said the statement was false and the second-lowest percentage who said the statement was true, researchers reported in the current issue of Science. Only adults in Turkey expressed more doubts on evolution. In Iceland, 85 percent agreed with the statement.

Well here is one link that is recen,t and a word search shows the aclu comes up plenty in the thread. It looked to me at least there was some some evo high fiving back slapping type celebration going on there.

There are probably 20 or 30 more articles like that, but I only have so much time and energy to put into this project.

If evolution was true, which it's not, there would be no reason to be against gay marriage and every reason to favor it.

They are noting the results, not the ACLU's involvement.

What an interesting, if convoluted, statement. How does that reason out? If anything, TToE would say that being gay is a "dead end" evolutionary tract.

[RunningWolf]

Without the ACLU's involvement, they would not have had the results.

No evo is decrying the aclu's involvement in those threads.

How about you, here is the opportunity for at least one evolutionist to renounce the activities of the aclu in matters concerning public school and teaching of darwinsistic evolution.

Evolution is a religion and it has very little in the way of sexual morality to worry about. Not only that but it also has the problem of over population to worry about.

The title pulled me in.

The joke potential was enormous but then it got all serious and stuff.

Do I get a swim noodle to beat posters of the Helen pics?

[stands2reason]

I was thinking along the lines of psychological warfare.

I tell the men who post her picture that they are secretly attracted to her, that's why they post her pic so much. (and it does seem to be a guy thing -creepy, no?)

When you call evolution a religion, does that mean you intend to give it the respect due to a religion, or does it mean that you own religion is open to the same kind of evisceration that evolution generally gets?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I think it is related to the "courtesy sniff" concept where if a guy finds something stinky he must get all of his friends to smell it too.

How just about letting biology labs and biologists be tax-exempt? This would include pharmceutical firms, of course.

The bible doesn't say anything about "respect due to a religion".

"Evisceration" LOL.
