AI Thread Summary
The Gallup Poll indicates that 46% of Americans identify as creationists, with only 15% believing in evolution. Additionally, 32% subscribe to intelligent design. Among post-graduates, the figures show 25% as creationists, 42% as intelligent design proponents, and 29% as evolutionists. This highlights a significant prevalence of creationist beliefs, outnumbering evolutionists by a ratio of 3:1. The discussion emphasizes the ongoing challenge of addressing these views in educational and scientific contexts.

So every time we do away with creationism as a fringe phenomenom, they outnumber 'us' 3:1 :eek:

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
