Where was this?
In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.

Incidentally, I was reading today that apparently the Hubble constant has been understimated, meaning the universe is likely 15% older and larger than previously calculated.

This is for Jr2 didnt believe me when I said most Americans were ignorent.

http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/060810_evo_rank.html

Quote from: From the article
A comparison of peoples' views in 34 countries finds that the United States ranks near the bottom when it comes to public acceptance of evolution. Only Turkey ranked lower.
Among the factors contributing to America's low score are poor understanding of biology, especially genetics the politicization of science and the literal interpretation of the Bible by a small but vocal group of American Christians, the researchers say."

...

The current study also analyzed the results from a 10-country survey in which adults were tested with 10 true or false statements about basic concepts from genetics. One of the statements was "All plants and animals have DNA." Americans had a median score of 4. (The correct answer is "yes.")

Link's broken.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

**** knows (It's not happening willingly, though).......at least part of it is down to Blairs' 'city academy' concept (privately funded schools), which is leading to what are effectively fundamentalist christian religious schools.  It's very worrying; i'm all for political correctness and religious sensitivity, etc, but if that's standing in the way of teachers teaching science as suggested in the article, we have a very real and very damaging problem.

This terrifies me; "In the Opinionpanel survey, nearly 20% said they had been taught creationism as fact by their main school."

That's just wrong, and it's supposed to be illegal under the education guidelines, too.

OK, fair statement, but in which direction of the arguement does it lend its support, It sounds a bit christian to me.
