    Well you know how it is, as long as there are a few brainiacs out there putting the magic into those electronic devices, and they just keep on coming down the pipeline, you can keep on believing in Jesus and all that religious stuff. After all, you know that religion is responsible for so many of the improvements that have come to pass over the last century. I mean, how many doctors has creationism produced? I am sure somebody prayed when they created a microprocessor. That couldn't have come from scientific theory....:ghoti:

    Well, no, this is why so many people don't believe in global warming, which has been scientifically proven to be taking place as we speak. :tsktsk:

    This also re-opens the debate: Which came first, Religion or Stupidity? :dunno:

    Learned that stuff in elementary school, and I'm sure it's taught (or supposed to be) in all public schools.

    Religious schools and home-schools have obvious agendas which are threatened by "facts" and science, so they don't teach reality and are no substitute for real schools.

    Apparently though, more than 1,002 people polled are content to be stupid.


    Obvious flaws to the survey are:

    It's a phone poll, so anyone bright enough to be on the do not call list or have an unlisted number, or those who don't have antiquated landlines, were not included.

    The do not call list covers marketing, it doesn't exclude people from calling for polls or market research.
