Repubs and evolution

[JackoliciousLegs]

Respond to what? A poll that shows that (+/- 3%) half of people who identify themselves as republican "believe in" evolution? (A loaded question if there ever was one.)

Nothing to respond to.

Back to the original question.

That's not half.

I'm not trying to get into an all out brawl about the role of the church in politics, but we can all guess how I feel about that... Feel free to be a libertarian if that makes you feel better. My point is, for all intents and purposes, 68% (low for comparable polls) of republicans do not believe in evolution. Evolution is not a theory anymore. Evolution is a fact. There's so much horseshit swirling like the f***ing creation museum, which if you haven't looked into, is sickening. The fact that children will be exposed to this under the veil of factual evidence is outright disturbing. I felt like in this club, being that it's a motorsports club, we have tons of very smart conservatives that I'm friends with and I wanted to just ask them about what they feel like when they see a survey like this. So there's definitely something to respond to... imo :-)

Just as a parting piece on my justification for the post, here are some images from the creation museum:
