People in America really aren't that stupid, it's just that the dumb ones speak out. Most British people who think Americans are dumb forget that 90% of American citizens have a European nationality. Also by calling Americans dumb, you're saying that Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison and many more people unintelligent.

They aren't the majority. 46 percent of Americans believe the biblical account of creation meaning over 110 million Americans are completely ignorant and stupid.
-
I have a hard time believing this statistic is accurate. To paraphrase Christopher Hitchens (who became an American of his own volition), that figure is likely reached by extrapolating from telephone responses by the kind of person who is not only at home during the day, but who is willing to have a chat about their personal beliefs with the folks at PEW.

Edited by GoodFlunky49562: 2/3/2015 11:52:52 PMThey're not stupid a, they're clearly very religious and even though I don't believe in biblical creation, you cannot prove that theory wrong.
-
They oppose Evolution which has loads of evidence for it while Creation has no evidence for it outside of a 2000 year old book written by old men. I think I can prove it wrong. I may not be able to prove god wrong but creation yes I can.

Edited by GoodFlunky49562: 2/4/2015 12:04:23 AMThis was one person, clearly not every American dos not believe in evolution. It's 2000 years old? So what? That means it's more accurate about the history of that time period. And old men clearly have more knowledge than young men.
-
Like I said, 46 percent of Americans believe this.
-
Does not make them stupid
-
Yes it does when they deny scientific fact in favor of a book written 2000 years ago.
-
They're not meaning to deny scientific fact, they're just practicing they're religion.
-
Sure, they're practicing their religion but they do mean to deny fact. They're too ignorant to accept the truth.
-
If you want the truth, in America people practice religion because their parents want them too, also there are a lot of Christians in Britain too
-
In Britain there's less fundamentalists.
-
But there aren't a lot in the United States, I've talked to about 600 Christians in my life and none of them thought that they were infalable
-
If you're a creationist, then I think you're a fundamentalist. You'll most likely find them in the deep south. If you haven't met one then good for you.
-
People in the United States know that we evolved from Ape like creatures
-
Some not all.
-
A lot actually, considering that it's taught in Northeast, Midwest, Southcentral, Northwest, Southwest, and Southeast regions of the United States and oh, that's all of the regions.
-
It's more abundant in the south.
-
Edited by GoodFlunky49562: 2/5/2015 9:17:56 PMPeople in the Southcenrtal region are probably the smartest of all the United States
-
Which states are those?
-
Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisianna.
-
That's interesting...
