I was reading my favorite blog this morning, and came across this little gem. Apparently 46% of all Americans believe the world was created 10,000 years ago, and that god made humans in their present form.
Sometimes I despair. Really I do. How in the hell are we going to compete in a global economy when we can’t accept scientific fact? Sullivan also thinks this gap is what has made our politics so polarized. I think he’s on to something. The right wing push back against us is that we are “godless”, and if your opponent is a heathen then compromise becomes impossible.
