What...an...embarrassment. And while it doesn't surprise me that some two thirds of the GOP is, well, not evolved enough to understand/accept evolution, it's not all that comforting to note that upwards of a third of Democratic and/or Independent voters likewise reject science.
It's not like there isn't precedent for accepting both evolution and religion--plenty of people are comfortable with that position. But rejecting one of the pillars of modern science is, at least for me, choosing the wrong side of the reality divide...which is the kind of thing that leads to follies like Iraq...or the abandonment of New Orleans.
And reality has a nasty way of asserting itself when you least expect it.
