......... and that in most of the world such as here in Europe has moved on a long time ago. The very notion that creationism would be thought in a science classrom is hilarious to us.
To be honest we find it quite funny that there are still people out there that buy into it.
Do these people realise that they are not the centre of the universe.
There are other countries you know.

It could be that whole Bible Belt way of thinking.

Actually there are people all over the world that believe that we are created. That fact that you think that we came from a rock is the most ignorant thing I have heard of( which I am asuming that is what you believe, since it is obviously not creation.). There has never been an ounce of proof that evolution ever existed, & the only evidence seen is that we are CREATED, & should be taught in the classrooms. & when the world ends & those of you who are standing in front of God, our Creator, I hope by then you have realized that creationism is the only way we got here, & that God is our creator & Savior. Until then I will pray for you.
So how do you explain how you came to being?
How do you explain your reason for being?

The United States is a very religious country. Although the basis for the first settlers on the continent was search for religious freedom, they had little tolerance for the religious views of others.
The problem is some people feel that science is a threat to religion. I believe that science does not discredit God, but reinforces his existence. How else could one explain the order in the seemingly random nature of the universe?

I wouldn't confine it just to the south. There are fanatics about every religion every where. Not that they are it is just a fact. And if you are from Europe where did you get your info from because I know quite a few fanatics that live in the west, not just the south. NE wayz that is kinda a degrading q. to all of the Americans. You are sorta sayin...Why do you dumb people, stick all the people I don't agree with in one place in country. Besides we have the right to practice religion how ever we want. Maybe you are just jealous. I don't appreciate this q. And that is my opinion.

Creationism is not mainly a southern US thing. Where do you get your facts?
What does there being other countries or people who believe a certain way have to do with them thinking they are the center of the universe?
We have something in our constitution called freedom of religion.
Why is it you think that people who don't believe the way you do are somehow less than you?
Ya, you've really moved on haven't you.

Yup, I live in Florida and it's terrible. Just terrible. Every church is practically a cult down here.
I'm originally from Connecticut, where that kind of stuff isn't an issue.
Fundamentalists are destroying American values. They're trying to get rid of the ideas that this country was founded on and get rid of the simple liberties we have as Americans.

Oh absolutely true!
It's why most of us are utterly ashamed to live in the same country as the state of Kansas.
Basically, the actions of these people have put all of American on the short bus of the world. Helmets and drool bibs firmly in place...

Well, while I do not promote Creationism in the classroom, I do think that there needs to be more critical thinking established on evolution.
I'm sorry if you don't believe in God's creation. It's pretty clear.

I don't think US southerners think that creation was only FOR americans. At any rate, people like you bug me, not because of your opinion but because you have to be degrading and rude to others when you voice yourself. Learn some manners and ethics, or is that too much to ask?

Nice rant--but unfortunately the plague of creationism is not confined to the South alone. Yeah, there are other countries--and other regions of the U.S. (and Europe)vulnerable to idiocy.

We certainly do realise that there are other beliefs in the world. This is because we are taught about these beliefs in our southern U S A classrooms; yet, we are not forced to conform to these beliefs. We tolorate,thus, we wish to be tolorated.
