You are as hysterical as Al Gore and just as irrational.
For centuries we have lead the way in science and technology despite having the most believers and your dreaded ignoramuses of the Bible Belt etc...
We did fine -- in fact excelled.
Logic and reason -- try it. You'll find it works better than emotion in analyzing things.

Ignoring the personal insults... the lead in science is changing. Far less of PhD. in key fields are coming from the the U.s and many of those are foreign nationals. Funding for research is way down and science education is under attack.
Its not a problem with the bible or the bible belt. I'm from the bible belt and I believe in the bible.
This is a problem with the bible being misused.

For centuries, we have been leading the way in scientific advancement because we've been leading the way *from* supernatural explanations *to* natural ones. Now there are those who want to reverse that trend.
