Prairie dwellers less supportive of evolution

The comments to the article show some real winners.

That's the beauty of facts: it doesn't matter whether people are skeptical of them or not. Facts don't need peoples' support to be facts.

I agree, but its still very hard for me to believe that so many people decide to not see evolution as a fact.

I've worked with a few, there is no arguing with a lot of them, they are the type that mock anything they don't agree with and never actually listen.

I wonder if there was an option presented where creationism and evolution aren't mutually exclusive. I'm sure most agnostics would select that.

Creation and Evolution are mutually exclusive, evolution with a divine creator is a different story.

I should have a few dozen witty comments to post about this...


...but for one of the rare times in my life, I'm speechless.

Really? I thought you would have said something like...

"Gee, I guess the attendance at Drumheller must be at an all time low..."

or

"The follow up question should have been, where do you think all the oil came from?"

The oil came from all the sinners drowned in the great flood.

So that's why it's all in Alberta!

Yep, like the song says we have Hell for a basement.

You'll find anti-science people everywhere. Here in southern California, we still have people who insist that organic food is far superior to other varieties, choose homeopathic medicine over conventional medicine, and think their Toyota Prius is more environmentally-friendly than a Toyota Yaris. Science supports none of these claims, but they still believe it.

None of those involve magical thinking however.

Homeopathic medicine doesn't involve magical thinking?
