The sound you do not hear is me hitting my head on the desk repeatedly
Poll - 79% of Americans believe that the Virgin Birth of Jesus was a literal, historical, really for sure happened event.
Take a look at that, kids. Read it all the way to the bottom, where 69% of Americans surveyed believe that "creation science" should be taught in addition to or instead of evolution in schools. Wanna guess which of those two options got the most respondents?
Now, I suppose it's possible that the sample for this poll came entirely from people caught as they exited some sort of remedial course in small-town Georgia. Except that I think that statement is unfair to all the students in small-town Georgia who are genuinely trying to better themselves.
In conclusion, Europe.
