I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Too ignorant for the 21st Century?

Almost half of Americans believe God created humans 10,000 years ago
This is according to a recent Gallup poll. (disclaimer: the head of Gallup is a no holds bared Christian Wingnut so this poll should probably be taken with a grain of salt) That's right, 45% of Americans think that God created humans 10,000 years ago while only 35% think that there is evidence to show that Darwin's theory of evolution is correct. It's no surprise that George Bush won since nearly 50% of the American people are still comfortably living in the 16th century and only one third seem to believe in science.

    10,000 years ago? Wrong! It was 6008 years ago, October 23, 4004 BC at 9:00 am. That's what the other 55% of Americans believe.
