America, America Alas

A survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, and American Association for the Advancement of Science found that

- almost a third of Americans believe that humans have existed in their present form since the beginning of time

- a bit less than half the population believes that people are responsible for climate change and about 11% says there is no climate warming at all

- a third of Americans think there continues to be a lively debate as to whether the theory of evolution is valid or not

Not real surprising, I guess, but certainly disappointing.
