Be afraid ... be very afraid !!

Something like 55% of Americans literally believe (and therefore reject any scientific basis for other possibilities) that this old guy with a white beard created the world and man in 6 days some 6,000 years ago.

And since he is omnipotent, he made all this fake history up (like the whole thing with Sumeria, and the fossils, and oil) to keep us busy on this big dietal anthill we call Earth.

The one thing people do not believe is that just because more people believe in something to be true, it does not, in and of itself, make it true.

Most people believed the world was flat. Most believed we were the center of the universe. Most believed that sickness was caused by defilement of the humors and you needed to be bled to heal.

Thank GOD there were enough people that did not believe crap like that or we would still be stuck in the stone age.
