Are you one of the 44%?

Are you one of the 44% of Americans who answered in a poll for Gallup, that believes the Earth was created by a god in 7 days, less than 10,000 years ago?

The thought of this gives me a really good belly-laugh. As a matter of fact I start grunting and snorting because I'm laughing so much. Are all Americans home-schooled, so that they can only be exposed to creationist fairy stories and not given a proper education?

A ham-shank friend of mine recently said 'the pakistanis are too backward to have their fingers on the nuclear trigger'......ohhhhhh the fakkin irony hahahahahaa!! Well guess what Bubba!!

What are your thoughts on this staggering statistic - a country with the biggest arsenal of nukes on the planet, and 44% say all this was made in 7 days less than 10,000 years ago? Please give your belly-laughs on a scale of 1-10

Update:

Rick here's your source, there's plenty more similar polls on this site, from lots of different years

Update 2:

Actually in 1994 it was 47%

    Nope. People are idiots. No worries, a huge ground swell is developing here against the crazies. Hard for you to see, but nut job Santorem with his stupid attack on amino this weekend is helping to put nails in the coffin. I'm republican but have already conceded the election in my mind. I know I many others who have as well. I won't vote at all in November:-(. I can't vote for Obama - just don't agree with him on fiscal policies and his socialist agenda and CANNOT vote for any of the Christian Crazies, so I'm disenfranchised and will stay home.

    WE ARE NOT A Christian COUNTRY!! So offensive - so ridiculously offensive.

    I call BS what is your source, I doubt that 44% of the 5% of Americans that regularly attend Church believe that.

    Your poll said humans created less than 10,000 years ago not the Earth.

  • Nope. I am a scientist who works in the field of molecular evolution. Kind of hard for me to be a creationist.

    Source(s): Catholic Christian and scientist.
