…the triumph of Faith over Reason. NBC did a telephone survey recently in the US on religion and American life. I find the answers to question 14 more than a little alarming:
Which do you think is more likely to actually be the explanation for the origin of human life on earth: evolution or the biblical account of creation?
Total biblical account of creation 57%
Don’t know/none of the above 10%
So, let me get this right, nearly twice as many Americans surveyed thought that the book of Genesis is literallly true as opposed to the demonstrable facts of evolution?
Now, that’s scary…
