Or it could just be a matter of intelligence. ;) Want to see some pathetically sad numbers (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/09/07/fox-news-poll-most-believe-prayer-heals-45-believe-in-creationism/)? Quote Among white evangelical Christians, 67 percent believe in creationism, 4 percent evolution, and 24 percent accept both. By a 20-percentage point margin, conservatives (53 percent) are more likely than liberals (33 percent) to accept creationism as true. And, conversely, liberals (37 percent) are more than three times as likely as conservatives (11 percent) to believe in evolution.
