Almost nobody believes in Christianity, including
Krueger.

True if one learns to write proper polite rhetoric and
throws in a strategically-placed "all", and if one is
sufficiently broad in what one considers to be
Christianity.

What I say is perfectly accurate,

At the very best you lack the ability to write accurately, at the worst you
are a meglomaniac who actually believes that his judgements are perfect.

Nothing any of us think is perfect, and better, saner men than you have the
ability to admit it.

Absent any admission from you that you did not write what you mean, I feel
no need to waste time with a meglomaniac.


You still haven't explained where in that sentence you would place the
word "all" to render it acceptable. Just rewrite it, including the
word, and if it makes sense I will admit error. Over to you.

People tend to decry this sort of poll - when it
produces results they don't agree with.

A good example is Trevor's avoidance of more recent
data from the same polls that disagrees with his
initial claims.

Perhaps you'd post a link to those polls, then?

A bunch of them, and right from the pollster's web site:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/21814/Evo...nt-Design.aspx

The percentage of 'god created man in his present form'
is 44% in 1982 and 44% in 2008...

IOW, it was never the 50% claimed.

**My PRECISE words we

"ALMOST half of the US population believes in that twaddle." (note the
emphasis)


Interesting that both religious conservatives and anti-Christians believe
that the means that God used to create man could not have possibly been
anything like evolution...

**Almost half of the US population believes in that twaddle.


There's only a conflict here between Science and the Bible if you're
spoiling for a fight.

**Almost half of the US population believes in that twaddle.

One difference between the UK and the US is that we were able to
assemble
the common continent-wide political, industrial, agricultural, and
residential organization that Europe can still only dream of close to
200
years ago. Well 200 years would be controversial, but surely 100 years
ago. We did it without modern transportation or communication.

The USA was made up of ex-European colonies most without significant
histories of their own. Some weren't even that, just tracts of land
inhabited merely by a handful of settlers and the native Americans who's
opinions were neither sought nor considered. Pulling that lot together as
a
nation is a piece of cake compared to welding together many disparate
nations each with it's own 1000+ year history and culture and which had a
history of being rivals with each other.

It was an act of vision, will, self-sacrifice, and intelligence.

No, it was an act of necessity. The only way the American states were
going
to be able to survive was by pooling their resources.

Many of our states are larger, wealthier, and more populous than even
many
of your larger, wealthier countries.

So?

The only truely impressive European country is Germany.

And how many have you heard of?, not many judging by that daft comment.

There are what 4 times more states in the US than there are countries in
Europe?

Er.. No. Showing your ignorance again?

The moral equivalent of the news and government of the UK in the US
might
be called California or Texas.

Does that sentence have a meaning?

We have all that and 48 more! (50 more

if you realize that Mexico and Canada are effectively quasi-states of
the
US.)

Go to Canada or Mexico and say that, and see how long you last before you
get lynched. Are you not aware just how little the US is respected in
either country?

Doesn't bother me.
Ever since free trade, it's the truth.
Three official languages; one country; three leaders -- one of which really
has all the power.
Obama borrowed trillions from China to boost the Canadian dollar.

It has become a culture in which ignorance is lauded.

Prove it. We have more effective institutions of learning almost by
accident then the UK has on purpose.

The proof is that it is a land with an "education centre" that teaches
that
the planet is only 6000 odd years old, and that humans and dinosuars
co-existed within that period. There's all the proof you need that it is a
land in which ignorance is lauded.


The yanks have a documentary series called 'The Flintstones" that (to
them) proves that human and dinosaur co-existed, and that man even
tamed and utilised them for various tasks.
