4 of you 10 are holding us back

ok, i dont really have 10 readers, but if i did which 4 of you are the guilty ones?  i am not here to, nor would i ever, diminish others religious beliefs.  but a line has to be drawn somewhere.  that line is reality. 
 
in the gallup poll linked below pollsters gave people three choices.  one choice was humans evolved with god guiding.  i think this is a perfectly acceptable position for religious people to take.  it lets them keep their religious beliefs while also allowing for the reality of science. 
 
yet 40% of americans believe god created humans about 10000 years ago.  my guess is these same people believe saddam hussein was responsible for the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks and president obama was not born in hawaii.  what do these three things have in common?  they are all provable and have been proven false.  but that doesnt stop large groups of people from believing the lies.  and that is very very dangerous.  when people live their lives blindly believing falsehoods dangerous shit happens.  check your history books.
