The folks at the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life and the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press conducted a poll on what is apparently one of our nation's most pressing issues. The result: 64 percent of respondents said they were open to creationism being taught alongside evolution in public schools, while 38 percent favored replacing evolution with creationism altogether. Wow.
42% held strict creationist views, while 48% said they believed that humans had evolved over time (18% of these folks thought that evolution was guided by a supreme being).
The poll surveyed 2,000 people, giving a margin of error of 2.5%.

It's not just Kansas anymore.
On that note, these are great!

Sad, scary, frustrating.
