Britons Unconvinced on Evolution :O

Slashdot reports "The BBC is reporting that more than half of Britons do not believe in evolution, with a further 40% advocating that creationism or intelligent design should be taught in school science classes. I'm a Brit myself, and I thought most people over here thought these views were outdated and lacked substance. None of my close friends give any credit to creationism or ID, but we're all well educated athiests so I guess that's to be expected. Maybe I've been blind to the views of the majority in this proudly secular country?"

Wow, I didn't think they were that stupid, I mean Darwin is British.

The bible is a pretty good book thought. Myths are a good way of passing on knowledge, but we've learnt that the universe is composed of simple abstract concepts and ideas which build up to the most perfect solutions to problems possible. Wisdom is good where we have not tread with philosophy and logic and the bible has a lot of wisdom.

Yes, I know it claims the earth was created by god etc and jesus healed lepers. These are just myths and there's no reason to get angry over myths unless someone uses them as an excuse to commit crimes apon you.
