14%?!?!

Way to go God! Nice grand plan!

In my ongoing attempt to mentally secede from the human race, polls like this only add fuel to the fire of my run away train. 14% huh? That's it??? 7 out of 50 people believe in scientific factual evidence? Seems like religion is involved. Oh, well whaddya know?!

After a contentious debate, the Texas Board of Education is set to vote in March on how evolution should be taught in the state's public schools.

WTF? They're serious??? Have textbooks on genetics and fossils NOT reached Texas yet? I know it's a barren wasteland of idiocy for the most part but I can't believe in 2009 were are still reliving the Scopes trial.

The most recent Gallup poll on the issue, conducted in May, found that only 14 percent of Americans believe that humans developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life. Forty-four percent believe that God created human beings almost overnight within the past 10,000 years.

You people make me sick. 44%? Overnight? What are you, 5? You understand the idea of carbon dating, right? The age of the universe by measuring the distance light has traveled? Sedimentary rock? You know amphibians exist, right? You know that the bone structure in a bird's wing is identical to the bones we have in our hands? Oh you didn't? Well read A FUCKING BOOK! Read the February issue of National Geographic. Why not believe a book written as a message for people to get through life 2000 years ago by a bunch of people down on their luck instead of scientist's research? Makes sense.

"The problem is, there are a number of fundamental people on both the left and the right extremes," said Michael Zimmerman, founder of the Clergy Letter Project.

Yeah, the right extreme believes in things called non-facts while people on the left believe in things called facts.

Central to Darwin's thesis was his scientific explanation of life's diversity: that all life evolved from a common lineage through the process of natural selection. This egalitarian view was not popular with those who professed their anthropological superiority over people of other races.

You fucking racists.

"Darwin's theory challenged the notions of human exceptionalism and brought to light this idea that humans are a result of natural processes, meaning we were not as 'special' as [we] once thought," said Eugenie Scott, a physical anthropologist and the executive director of the National Center for Science Education.

Hey 86%...get over it. You're insignificant. Now get on with your life and stop living in a fairytale.
