Evolution Shmevolution!

You know, the way things are going in this country, I'm don't know why I was so shocked to find out that

45 percent of Americans believe that God created humans in their present form.

Yep, according to a new Gallup Poll, one-third of Americans believe that Darwin's theory of evolution is supported by evidence, one-third don't know enough to say, and another third think Darwin was full of shit.

On top of that 45 percent, 38 percent of Americans believe that God guided the development of man over time, while only 13 percent said that God had nothing to do with human development.

And probably my favorite statistic of the day: 34 percent of those polled also said that the Bible is the actual word of God and should be read literally.

I wonder, does that include the part in which a man is forced to marry his brother's widow? Or how about all the contradictions that litter the Bible? Should we read both sides? Wait a second, isn't the Bible just a giant flip-flopper? And I hear that those nails in Jesus' hands were only flesh wounds, the faker! He just wanted to get off Earth and back to Heaven so he could start his religious career!
