It's not the heat, it's the stupidity.

Me, I believe, to some extent, in the supernatural. I figure it adds a little spice to life, and what the hell it's fun too. But, I'm down with Darwin as well. Ol' Chaz was a fascinating man, and he did have the single best idea ever. Hell, I'm a member of his posse:


So this is really shitty to see:



It's not so much the second-to-last-place position of the US, but that only 40% of Americans believe in the single most certain thing biology has come up with since "We all die." And don't let's tut-tut, The Netherlands is barely pulling 70% and Darwin's homeland isn't much better. You're telling me 30% of the Dutch aren't sure about evolution? That's just ignorant. They don't even have the crazy-Christian excuse over there.
Now want to be really sad? Here you go: "American Protestantism is more fundamentalist than anybody except perhaps the Islamic fundamentalist, which is why Turkey and we are so close," said study co-author Jon Miller of Michigan State University. He's right, too.
