For a country that prides itself on its scientific and technological advancements and contributions to the world, it’s staggering that only 39% of Americans believe in evolution according to a 2009 Gallup Poll. That number is heavily based on education and religious values; only 21% of those with a high school education or less believe in evolution, while only 24% of weekly church-goers believe in the theory.

It is an embarrassment to American culture and part of the reason for the ghastly statistics, when abominations like the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky are teaching American children that the earth is 5,000-years-old, and that humans and dinosaurs happily co-existed together, while denying any such thing as evolution ever took place.
