over the last 4 years!

The US is an embarrassment to the world! These type shows are dangerous. I laugh at this crap most of the time--but I do think we have a serious problem. A major portion of the population is DEvolving!!

Why Are Republicans Rejecting Basic Biology Even More?

I wish I could say this news is surprising, but it’s really not (via):

Over the last four years, the percentage of Democrats who said they believe in evolution has risen by three points, from 64 percent to 67 percent. But the percentage of Republicans who believe in the theory has dropped 11 points, from 54 percent to 43 percent.

So while there was a 10-point gap in 2009, there is now a 24-point gap........
