The Death of Reason in America

It is astounding how reason and logic have been laid to rest in America.

A recent poll described here finds 51% of Americans surveyed reject the scientific theory of evolution, favoring the idea that a supernatural God created human beings.

It is no wonder that the same populous that embraces the fantasy of creation as described in Genesis would accept the contrived and flimsy arguments that Iraq was behind 9/11, that Saddam Hussein's regime held weapons of mass destruction, and that a leader like George Bush who touts his "gut instinct" over a reasoning mind would be allowed 8 years of executive leadership of this nation.

It almost makes one want to pray for reason and logic to be resurrected and walk again among the people.
