This One Makes You Think
A Hat Tip to Jordon Cooper for the link to the LiveScience.com article that has the following headline:

U.S. Lags World in Grasp of Genetics and Acceptance of Evolution.

The article goes on to say:

A comparison of peoples' views in 34 countries finds that the United States ranks near the bottom when it comes to public acceptance of evolution. Only Turkey ranked lower.

Among the factors contributing to America's low score are poor understanding of biology, especially genetics, the politicization of science and the literal interpretation of the Bible by a small but vocal group of American Christians, the researchers say.

“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.

I don't know if I want to laugh or cry. How in the world can we ever expect to remain a world power in science and inventions and technology when we have what amounts to scientific illogic running rampant under the name of religion? If God needs our illogic to remain the all-powerful God we are in more trouble than anyone even begins to understand.

Nope.
