Looks like the UK is following in the footsteps of the US and slowly becoming a nation of idiots. Today’s Guardian reports that over 30% of university students believe in Creationism or Intelligent Design.
In a survey last month, more than 12% questioned preferred creationism – the idea God created us within the past 10,000 years – to any other explanation of how we got here. Another 19% favoured the theory of intelligent design – that some features of living things are due to a supernatural being such as God. This means more than 30% believe our origins have more to do with God than with Darwin – evolution theory rang true for only 56%.
