CowKing Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Man I find it hard to believe only 39% of people believe in evolution, that makes me sad. I went to school in Connecticut and as far as I can remember it was never even mentioned in school. What a shame, I want to see this movie. ya i bet that poll was conducted by a bias researcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I thought even some state schools, especially in" the bible belt" didn't teach it? Cheers Paul That's not true at all. State schools all teach evolution (yes, even in the bible belt). It's a sad state of affairs though...people in this country are so damn blind about so many things.

cjloki Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I'm an atheist but please don't hold that against me. I think it's a shame that this film, and probably others, cannot be shown in some areas of the USA. Charles Darwin and his theories on human evolution aren't even taught in some American schools, is that right? Cheers Paul +1 well i'm silly, here all this time i thought darwin proposed the "theory of natural selection". and yes now i want to see it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayMeow Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I find it hard to believe that only 39% of Americans believe in evolution, however maybe my view is skewed by the fact that all my schooling has occurred in New York, even college. I can't even fathom how biology gets taught without talk of Darwin and evolution. It's really sad if 39% is actually accurate. It looks like I may have to wind up downloading this one, which is a shame since the producers won't get money for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) yes you get to make the choice waco whether or not to watch his garbage, in this instance the choice to watch or not to was taken away by someone so we seek out other means of educating ourselves I know and I find it as ridiculous as you do. I'm still not going to support Moore's crap. I can't even fathom how biology gets taught without talk of Darwin and evolution. Only in private schools...and I'm not sure how they get away with calling it biology. Edited September 13, 2009 by Waco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 It looks like I may have to wind up downloading this one, which is a shame since the producers won't get money for it. I can send you a DVD from Canada if ya want! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
