much love for the 12.2

Happy Darwin Day to the 12.2%* of Americans who believe that “man”** came to be by evolving from earlier forms of life over millions of years. So, if this means you, you might want to send your Valentine’s Day card a couple days early this year.

*This number jumps up to almost 54% if you add in the “God guided evolution and created man” responses. These data are from the 2004 GSS, variable name: CREATION.

**Let me tell you something, GSS Question Writers: if women weren’t around, evolution wouldn’t have worked nearly as well.

    The style sheet is still in tact on our dashboard. It’s a WordPress problem. This would be an example of how evolution does not equal progress.

    Orgtheory’s WordPress template is fine. I’m thinking they are to blame.
