<< Note the courtesy with which Share corrects auth's mistake. >>
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You are determined to trash every bit of credibility you may ever have had for the sake of defending Poor Innocent Share from her own mistakes. << Just the facts. >> The fact is that her "guess" was wrong. Another fact is that she could have found out very easily, just as I did, that the poll results reflect a flat rejection of evolution in general by a third of the U.S. population, not just that those folks don't think humans evolved from apes. She was trying to wiggle out of the mistake by pretending that I had somehow misunderstood what she was commenting on (Bhairitu's statement that 1/3 of the population doesn't believe in evolution). You aren't doing her any favors by trying to help her get away with it, Feste, and goodness knows you aren't doing yourself any favors either. Just FYI, had I made the mistake she did and been shown to be wrong, I'd have said, "You're right, I should have checked rather than guessed. That's a really depressing statistic." << No sneering or nastiness. Now imagine what it would have been like the other way round. Try to learn from Share, auth. Judy, my post was not a wrong guess. It was a reference to noozguru saying that 1/3 of Americans don't believe in evolution. >> On Tuesday, December 31, 2013 1:53 PM, "authfriend@..." <authfriend@...> wrote: Wrong guess (and why guess, when it's so easy to find out what the facts are?): "A poll out Monday shows that less than half – 43 percent – of those who identify with the Republican Party say they believe humans have evolved over time, plunging from 54 percent four years ago. Forty-eight percent say they believe 'humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time,' up from 39 percent in 2009. [my italics] "At 67 percent and 65 percent, respectively, the numbers of Democrats and independents who believe in evolution have remained more or less the same since 2009. They’re also in step with the population nationally: Six-in-10 Americans say they believe humans have evolved."

I'd further speculate that for many of that 1/3, the rejection of evolution is based almost entirely on their religious beliefs. Still, it is pretty mind boggling in this day and age! >> I can really believe that 1/3 of the US population does not accept evolution. It's pretty obvious in their behavior and lack of intelligence. :-D >>
