EPTOf the percentage that don't believe in evolution, the article doesn't expound upon how many (out of those polled) believe in FSM, but I bet it's a lot. You guys sure are nuts.
I can't get enough of this photoshop:

And according to another poll, I believe 90% of all Americans stated they believe in God, so it comes to no surprise for me. | ||

I take the results of surveys like that with a grain of salt. Most of the people I know and have a reasonable amount of respect for acknowledge the fact that humans evolved from lower animals. If you ask me the religious question is not whether or not that occured, the question is whether or not God set this up and/or guided it. Most people seem to argue about the wrong thing. | ||

 He's gotten o elaborate in his tales, and tells them with such convincing passion that he's long forgotten anything that goes beyond them.The problem with christians is that it's never enough for them, they always want more and more. -Mynock | ||

 This one christian "scientist" tried to explain how the grand canyons were formed in the great flooding that the bible describes. Get it? One Single Flood made the grand canyon! :DDD Oh and theyre trying to make schools teach creationism in many places in the US today $25 million Creation MuseumGenesis is not science, Genesis is a tale that was handed down for generations by people who really knew nothing about science, who knew nothing about natural history, and certainly knew nothing about what fossils were. edit: geeze i really do hate hc religious whackos | ||

Many people take the "God created earth in 7 days" literally which can only lead to denying the evolutionary process. It is unknown how Genesis was writen or even who wrote it. Whos to say it wasnt a vision given to the author by God in the form of symbols. This is personally what I believe but there can be other explanations if you keep an open mind. Basically I agree with micronesia and believe that God guided the evolutionary process. | ||

Ending: The unspoken taboo on evolution is not just a tragedy of missed educational opportunities. Our health and economy increasingly depend on biomedical research, from the epidemiology of bird flu to the treatment of AIDS, which depends on understanding evolution. Asian countries, which lack America's squeamishness about evolution, are hell-bent on expanding their biomedical research sector. If we don't overcome our reluctance to excite our children with modern biological thought, it doesn't take a Darwin to predict who will be selected in this struggle for survival. | ||

I read a theoretical book about this supposed flood once, which was inspiring and a great read (but in dutch). I'm in favor of teaching creationism in schools too (flame me), but alongside evolution. To me, neither are proven, evolution is still a theory, as is creationism, so let's learn kids all there is to know and let them make their own decision. Problem here mostly is that many amerakins do believe what they're taught and this depends highly on their location. I don't like zealous regilious ppl either, but i got no problem with someone who has looked at this from different points of view and has decided that creation is true. As long as he doesn't go try to convince everyone else (waving his holy book) its fine by me. | ||

Most of what we learn in grade school science is still a theory. Just because something is a theory doesn't jusfity the need to teach an alternate regardless of how hopeless the alternate may be. I have yet to see a sound scientific argument for why creationism is a deserving enough theory to be taught in public schools. | ||

Creationism is not a theory in the scientific sense. Evolution, on the other hand, can be subjected to the scientific process... more or less. | ||

I think the guy he was talking about believed that the flood itself directly carved the canyon, not any of its after-effects. | ||
