United States 2nd only to Turkey in believing Evolution is false
Out of the 34 developed countries polled, the United States is second to last on the list that believes evolution is a fact. Maybe that’s one of our problems? I’m not one to bash religion, it does a great deal of good in the world IMO. However it also does a great deal of harm. Perhaps even more harm than good.
On the positive side it brings food to the hungry, gives guidance to young kids, and helps families to live a better life. However, sometimes I wonder if the Iraq war is actually centered around religion? There is some type of prophecy in the bible that states if Israel dies, Christianity will die. I could actually see Bush going to war for such a thing. After all, he does claim to have personal talks with God.
The investigation also showed that the percentage of U.S. adults who are uncertain about evolution has risen from 7 percent to 21 percent in the past 20 years.
These stats don’t have anything to do with the smartest countries, if you’re looking for a report on that, check out this article about who the smartest countries are:
