fuck "intelligent design"

i was reading an article in slate concerning the good old evolution v. creationism argument. decent read, take a look. anyway, one interested tidbit that was revealed:

"45 percent of Americans believe God created human beings in their present form 10,000 years ago, while another 38 percent believe that God directed the process of evolution. Only 13 percent accept the prevailing scientific view of evolution as an unguided, random process. Being right and yet so unpopular presents an interesting problem for evolutionists...."

is anybody else surprised by those figures? i'm not surprised that more people believe in god than not, but only 13% believe in unabashed evolution? i thought it would be around 30%.

on a sidenote, that article links another, where the author takes on a question on many have asked: is w genuinely stupid? the article gets beyond that basically trite query to give an insightful take on bush's intellectual view: the real question is "Why would someone capable of being smart choose to be stupid?" plausible answers are provided.

Jesus Christ man, just take a look at me. Do you think physical perfection like myself just "happens" after millions of years of random genetic mutations? Maybe there's some chance or "evolution" involved, but I guarantee God was aiming to please when he inteligently designed my sculpted pecs, abs and monstrous dick.
