Oh God

44% of Americans believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years. I have heard a friend, one such adherent, admit this conviction. I hear almost daily, local individuals use unintelligible phrases like “complaining about numerously.” Do these ‘ignorant’ spokespersons also represent 44% of Americans? I suspect so. A recent poll showed that 40% of youth do not practice any religion (spirituality instead is on call). I would prefer the 80/20 rule to apply to the human condition. For example, 20% of Americans are liberal (progressive) and 80% are centrist or conservative. That statistic would be more comforting than knowing 2/3 of my fellow citizens remain in the dark about scientific evidence and intelligent design. The human brain has shrunk not only physically over the years but also in inquisitiveness and content. Oh God, forgive them for they know not (literally) what they do.
