Evolution, my foot.

February 16th, 2007

Well, maybe our feet, but definitely not our brains.

Consider if you will these statistics I read this morning in the most recent issue of Archeaology Magazine:

49% of Americans do not believe humans evolved over millions of years

51% of Americans believe humans and dinosaurs co-existed

This before nine this morning. It was rather enraging, so I employed my usual coping strategy: take it out on the nearest person.

Uppity: [stomping in]

Kevin: What now?

Uppity: [yelling] “Fifty-one percent of Americans believe humans and dinosaurs co-existed!!”

Kevin: Well, yes. I had a dinosaur as a schoolboy. His name was Dino.

Uppity: [sigh]

Kevin: Later, I had a car that I had to move with my feet.

Uppity: [stomping out]

Kevin: [calling after me] My wife’s name was Wilma!

Hey, at least you don’t have to teach them on a daily basis. Even pointing out how Genesis describes heaven as being a metal dome above us with windows for letting in rain and snow doesn’t phase them one bit. It’s alright to say the Bible was wrong about the physical nature of heaven (because they prefer the fluffy tv-version instead), but they insist on the whole 6 day creation thing. It’s weird how adults can believe in tooth-fairy stories, no?

Belated Happy V-Day. hugs and kisses from TX.

You\’re right, Shaun, it could be worse. ~~Sucks to be you~~ You have my sympathy. Happy V-Day to you too! And sorry about misspelling your name on the Christmas letter (its Kevins fault).
