The Spirituality in Me Takes Over

I took this off the CNN website this morning:

The most recent Gallup poll on the issue, conducted in May, found that only 14 percent of Americans believe that humans developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life. Forty-four percent believe that God created human beings almost overnight within the past 10,000 years, and another 36 percent believe that God guided humans' evolution from animals over a much longer period of time.

There is no hope for mankind. A plurality of the population believe humans were created overnight within the past 10,000 years? Forget being embarrassed to share a state with our ex-President; I'm embarrasse to share a species with 44 percent of the population.

Really? 14% of Americans? I'm embarrassed to share a country with 86% of the population.

Me, too. I was being polite...you know, letting the spirituality in me take over.
