• 83% of the U.S. population believes that Jesus literally rose from the dead.
• 53% of the U.S. population believes that the universe is 6,000 years. old.
• 44% of the U.S. population are confident that Jesus will return within the next 50 years.

Even my maniacally orthodox Roman Catholic best friend (who practically refuses any Mass not conducted in Latin) realizes that the earth has probably been around for billions of years. In fact I won't even use the terms accepts or admits because it isn't a matter of defeat, even in his mind.

Perhaps these numbers are skewed or over-exaggerated or perhaps not. Nevertheless, 83% or 23%, does it really make a difference? How can we form a competent non-biased uncorrupt government when we are so easily dupped - even if it is only a half of us, or a quarter of us? The swinging state of Ohio knows that you don't need too many people to change an entire presidential election..

An election that is flawed, inaccurate, broken, and probably corrupt as all hell.

Unfortunately, I'd guess about 83% (or more) of all Republican politicians can't accept or admit that.
