Between February 6-10, 2004, ABC News polled 1,011 people (yielding a margin of error of 3). Sixty percent of those asked believed that the story of Noah and the ark literally occurred word for word as described in the Bible. Sixty one percent believed that the Earth came into existence in six literal days. Sixty four percent believed that the Red Sea parted upon the command of Moses. People apparently believe all kinds of lies as long as they are packaged in the name of religion. The level of basic monkey common sense that must be cast aside to hold these beliefs is unfathomable. Believe those whoppers and you'll believe anything. How did it happen that most people in the United States supported the war in Iraq? Because most people, God bless their souls, believe stupid shit that isn't even worthy of fairy tale status.
