More Americans Believe Obama Is Muslim Than in Theory of Evolution Evolution, the silly little theory that suggests the origin of species can be traced back from a universal common ancestor nearly four billion years ago and has adapted via natural selection, is not exactly a widely held belief here in the God-fearing States of ‘Murrica. In fact, of all the countries in the Western world, the United States trails every single nation except for Turkey when it comes to our believing human beings evolved from earlier species of animals. A new Gallup survey underscores this finding: “Forty-six percent of Americans believe in the creationist view that God created humans in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years. The prevalence of this creationist view of the origin of humans is essentially unchanged from 30 years ago, when Gallup first asked the question. About a third of Americans believe that humans evolved, but with God’s guidance; 15% say humans evolved, but that God had no part in the process.” Yup, ONLY 15 PERCENT OF AMERICANS SURVEYED BELIEVE IN AN EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS IN WHICH GOD PLAYED NO ROLE. Let’s put this in perspective: • A bigger percentage of Americans believes Barack Obama is a Muslim (16%) than in evolution without God’s guidance (15%). • A bigger percentage of Americans believes that John Edward dude can talk to your dead relatives (21%) than in evolution without God’s guidance (15%). • A bigger percentage of Americans believes in witches (21%) than in evolution without God’s guidance (15%). • A bigger percentage of Americans believes that the sun revolves around the Earth (22%) than in evolution without God’s guidance (15%). • A bigger percentage of Americans believes the United States won its independence from a country other than Great Britain (24%) than in evolution without God’s guidance (15%). Thankfully, however, a bigger percentage of Americans believe in evolution than the theory that Elvis Presley is still alive and hiding out. You may disagree and say, “Well, it’s really 47%, because even if these people believe in God’s guidance, they still believe in evolution, man!” That may be true — we’ll leave the judgment up to you. This exercise is one that simply points out the small percentage of people who believe in evolution with no invisible hand. Draw your own conclusions. Follow us!

Rhinestone hard case for iphone 4 12.05.13 @ 3:13 am I’m not so sure that a hard case will protect your phone better. Most of the hard cases I have seen don’t protect your phone from a drop on the floor at all. If the case is rigid, you will get little or no shock protection. On the other hand, silicone cases (and some hard cases) usually provide no screen protection, so you’ll probably want to add an screen protector.
