You know, evolution as a theory may have a few problems, but it's a long jump from "the theory of evolution is incomplete" to "it's false". I'm kind of dismayed as a resident of the US, but not really surprised I suppose. *sigh*
Edit: someone correlated this with "happiest nations on Earth". Apparently Denmark is #1, but look at the list that follows:
Following behind Denmark came Switzerland, Austria, Iceland and the Bahamas.

That sounds like a pretty good list of countries to me. I'm packing my bags right now. :D

We have a conservative media and president/congress/courts, etc. in the US that hammer us with christianity in every form of life. Even if we're atheist like myself, we're pressured by government to accept christian rituals and holidays as normal. Darwin's theory is one that has withstood every single challenge. Yet the whole Jesus was god/Heaven as Lottery myth still lures them into god-belief. Sad stat that americans are so ignorant, but living here all my life, I know that!
PS: Will someone in Norway or Switzerland adopt me? I'm not picky. Any castle will do.
JavaJones:
I'd go for Switzerland. Have you seen their countryside? My god, one of the most beautiful *countries* on Earth I dare say! It says something that J.R.R. Tolkien modelled some of his most mystical places after parts of Switzerland. :D
