Darwinian Nightmare

A new Gallup poll revealed: "Four in 10 Americans, slightly fewer today than in years past, believe God created humans in their present form about 10,000 years ago. Thirty-eight percent believe God guided a process by which humans developed over millions of years from less advanced life forms, while 16%, up slightly from years past, believe humans developed over millions of years, without God's involvement." It's dismaying to learn that, in effect, a whopping 40% of us have never left the Middle Ages and its flat-Earth mythologies. If nothing else, it is an indictment of our educational system. Without a doubt, Charles Darwin is spinning in his grave.
