That makes no sense. If that were true then the poll would heavily favor evolution because Democrats say Obamacare is failing because everyone thinks it was repealed..

Here is a Democrat that speaks so eloquently about Obamacare and the idiots who want to use it. From MSNBC sorry LG I know you wont be able to fire back.

Seriously..people elected this chick? She can barely speak English. And people actually wonder why our collective IQ is shrinking..

I do like how she pretty much calls the Presidents supporters full on retards. You can always count on a Democrat to ridicule their own voting base and have it sail over their heads.

Around 1:00 -- "When that fine is about to kick in, you gawnner see people trottin' to sign on like somethin' you never seen before..."

Think about that statement. "Very few have signed on so far, but we feel we will hit our goal because we threatened them real good."


Muhahahahaha! How can anyone take these people seriously, and not get terribly offended by how they govern us?

The health czar == "natural" selection? "Only the fittest get healthcare."

The dialog has evolved? "You can keep your current plan, period."

Website == "random mutation"? Keep throwing random crap up and hopefully something will work.

So we needed more proof that the GOP are becoming intransigent and reverting back to things like religious dogma?

In my opinion this is pretty much symptomatic of the trend we see as the party forces out the better educated, the more enlightened. Not at all surprising -- I'd analogize it to a large star, about to collapse upon itself under its own gravity and form a black hole.

Watch the video above. Go out and watch the video of the black conservative, Mormon woman Mia Love. Compare the two then wallow in just how idiotic you sound when faced with reality as opposed to your ideology..

.00067% of the population is not much of a sampling size. I'd give the poll more legitimacy if it had a larger sample size. That is my real beef. The numbers would be skewed even further for Republicans if blacks weren't enslaved by the Democratic party.

I'll try not sound patronizing, but the sample size is irrelevant given the calculations made for the margin of error/confidence interval.

The math works out to there only needing to be 1,067 sampled citizens out of a population of 313,000,000 to equate to a margin of error of 3% using a 95% confidence level. 1,979 citizens must be sampled to increase that confidence to 99%.

Source: Statistics

In other words, you don't need to poll every citizen to get a reasonably accurate representation of the population as a whole. While certainly, more is better and will result in a higher confidence - the outcome wouldn't likely be statistically significant.

Meh, they don't believe in science. Why you trying to get them to understand math?

The problem that I have is the underlying motive of seeing a need to undermine the poll. Disbelieving Darwinian evolution is not a "bad" thing, and does not make a person stupid.

If this poll was accurate that would mean there would be tens of millions of people in this country who changed their views on evolution. That is a LOT of people. Even with a margin of error of 50% that's still a lot of people who would change views in such a short period of time. Either this survey was wildly inaccurate or there is a major movement going on.

An alternative explanation is that these people were always this dumb and are fed up with denying it. It's the Palin Effect. If she can look good being a moron, why can't they?

I agree that some really intelligent people reject evolution, but that doesn't make it a reasoned position to take.

What I don't understand is why one damn religious person doesn't stand up and say ,"Maybe evolution is how God created life on earth."

I guess what you see depends on where you sit...

If I told you fire was not hot and water was not wet, would you think I was stupid?

Evolution can not explain how life began.

Some may argue that no explanation or lack of current understanding about the cosmos is a more reasonable position than the Adam and Eve story.

Theistic evolution is what you're referring to, I think. There are quite a few people who use it as a way to hold a belief in God, but also make their worldview compatible with scientific discoveries.

Interestingly enough, Darwin himself wrote this.

I should infer from analogy that probably all the organic beings which have ever lived on this earth have descended from some one primordial form, into which life was first breathed by the Creator.
