Gallup: Forty-Two Percent Of Americans Reject The Concept Of Evolution In Humans

Gallup has released a

new poll that shows that Americans still reject the
concept of evolution of humans in high numbers.
Indeed, twice the number of Americans believe that
humans were created by God in their current image
than there are those who believe in natural
evolution. Indeed, those 42 percent believe that man
was created by God in the last 10,000 years. That is
a considerable difference even if you focus only on
anatomically modern humans which appeared in the
Middle Paleolithic period about 200,000 years ago.
For those who believe in the science behind
evolution, the news is not all bad. Nineteen percent
believe in evolution without divine involvement
while another 31 percent believe that there was
evolution from “less advanced forms of life” but
that God directed that process. That is fifty
percent. Of course, that does appear to leave eight
percent that is still . . . well . . . evolving.

Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

  1 Million Dead in Iraq? 6 Reasons the Media Hide the True Human Toll of War -- And Why We Let Them    :      Information Clearing House: ICH By John Tirman July 20, 2011 "Alternet" - - As the U.S. war in Iraq winds down, we are entering a familiar phase, the season of forgetting—forgetting the harsh realities of the war. Mostly we forget the victims of the war, the Iraqi civilians whose lives and society have been devastated by eight years of armed conflict. The act of forgetting is a social and political act, abetted by the American news media. Throughout the war, but especially now, the minimal news we get from Iraq consistently devalues the death toll of Iraqi civilians. Why? A number of reasons are at work in this persistent evasion of reality. But forgetting has consequences, especially as it braces the obstinate right-wing narrative of “victory” in the Iraq war. If we forget, we learn nothing. I’ve puzzled over this habit of reaching for the lowest possible estimates ...
