E pur si muove!

I think there is something to be said for the human spirit.

But my friend at The State I'm In informs me that 53% of Americans believe human beings currently exist as god made them, leaving evolution completely out of their personal cosmology.

53% of Americans are wrong.

For the record, religion gave us the Crusades, the Inquisition and 9/11.

Also, in 1633 the Inquisition forced Galileo Galilei to recant his position that - gasp - the Earth revolves around the sun. No one apologized for such a shocking misunderstanding of science until the pope apologized for the gaffe in 1992. Idiots.
