This poll says so.
If you are keeping score. Great! If not let me keep score for you.
31% say that man did evolve, but that “God guided.” Newcomer to the race, Inteligent design, has a strong showing.
A paltry 12% say evolution only can account for mankind’s existance.
Doing the math that means a whopping 57% of responses lie outside those two answers. Given that generally ~5% don’t know or have no opinion (noncommital morons), that leaves an estimated 52% in the “Mankind was created like the Bible says”, category.
Woohoo! Eat that, heathen!

Lot of people review the year at the end of it. We here at IMAO.US like to beat the rush.
2006 In Review, So Far.
Judge Samuel Alito was confirmed and sworn in as a Justice in the Supreme Court. For the first time in history the number of women on the bench went down. This after a long torturous series of Senate hearings during which Democrats on the committee felt dishonor bound to make major league donkeys out of themselves. A filibuster was attempted but was completely ineffective and many of us laughed heartily at them trying. HAH!
Iran announced they are developing ‘peaceful’ nuclear ‘power’. The reason they want this is obvious. There is practically no energy of any kind in that nation. I mean, the sun doesn’t even shine there. To top things off black sticky stuff runs out of the ground causing everybody’s feet to stick. Iranians admit a reactor meltdown could possible irradiate Israel. If this doesn’t happen in a reasonable time frame, other nuclear options are being refined.
At long last a crack team of “Where’s Waldo” enthusiasts located a photo that showed convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff in the same room with George W Bush, finally proving conclusively that they are, in fact, not the same person. Now if they can find one with Bush and Hitler we may be able to debunk the lefts core platform.
Cartoons published in the Danish pess depicting Mohammed have infuriated many members of the Religion Of Peace (ROP) causing a vast letter writing campaign across the Arab world which eventually led them to convene a Blue Ribbon panel to reconsider their nickname. On the list of proposed new nicknames:
* Religion of Irony
* Religion of Don’t Piss Us Off
* Religion of Death to Israel, Death to America, Death to all Who do not Submit to Sharia Law
The last one has wide appeal but most Muslims wouldn’t be able to afford the bumper sticker.
V.P.Richard Cheney shot a lawyer in the face. He compounded this mistake by failing to report the incident to the media, and instead selfishly sought medical treatment for this friend. The major media outlets felt robbed of a scoop, they got no pictures of cheney holding the gun. Despite heart trouble the media was not able to downgrade Cheney from mean and carelss and drunk to murderer.
Civil unrest in Iraq erupted when someone who wanted the Shia majority mad at the Sunni minority blew up a bomb at the golden dome. Sunni said what are you nuts? we know you have us outnumbered?, We’ll pay to repair it just quit killing us.” And civil war was averted.
Other things happened in politics but they are not listed here.

-Warning Apolitical Alert-
I enjoy watching American Idol.
Usually.
I have noticed a number of things that I’ve forgiven before but now are really beginning to chafe me.
Here is my airing of grievances.

Don Knotts was a comedy hero to me.
Even though the Barney Fife character will live on in reruns and on DVD collections, won’t be able to watch them without a tinge of sadness knowing the man behind the badge, the bullet and, yes, the bud nipping has gone on to the Mayberry Eternal.
I, for one, will miss him greatly.
More at Jack Lewis.

Since we are having a lot of enlightened comment from the left, I would lke to offer this comment thread as a means for you who so desire to offer your advice on how killing babies is a GOOD thing, under the right circumstances.
Put us in our place. Shut us up. Tell us where to go. Perhaps you think we may not realize how dumb we are, this is your golden chance to let us know! All the things that advance your side’s arguement. Don’t blow it!
By blowing it I mean forgetting to do it with love or forgetting to speak from your happy place.
Listen to me, you fail to speak with love from your happy place, then sadly, you’re just going to push us further away from the path of love and enlightenment that you have found. And in the end you’ll just look like the hate-filled moron we’re sure you probably think you aren’t.
We are listening. Spew, I mean speak.

I’m afraid the entire port issue has devolved into a quagmire. Sure, you know things are going screwy when Jimmy Carter is coming in on the side of the president but that’s not what has really caused the whole thing to go south. What was the tipping point? The moment that president George W. Bush threatened to do what he swore never to do while he was president, use the Veto. I remember what he said during his inauguration, the first one i think.

…and uphold and defend the constitution…

,and that’s when he drifted into a trance, got that far away look, and said ..

…but never, EVER use the accursed veto because for its use has been forever tainted by traitors and commies like Clinton, and terrorist appeasers like Carter and I’m no commie traitor or terrorist appeaser. But if I ever DO use the veto or even threaten to do so, it shall be a sign to all that the End of Days is near. Other signs will be prior to this a high ranking Republican will shoot another Republican, possibly in the face, perhaps with a gun that use some sort of shot…

Going back to these words I heard spoken during that solemn ceremony I knew things had reached critical mass. To forestall the coming apocolypse only one course can be taken. In accordance with prophecy, the ports in question must be ritually cleansed with unmarked 100 dollar bills, (you can mail them to me) and then destroyed by ‘the fire that lights the sun.” When this is complete the ritual slaughter of all who published an opinion about the issue, whether for it or against it, can commence in earnest. Oh and we can attack and colonize the UAE. We can just scratch out the E and stick an ‘S’ between the U and the A on all their stuff. Don’t they have oil? With Arab in the name they’ve practivcally GOT to. Yeah we can take that too.
In retrospect maybe saying the world wlil end if he uses the veto and swearing not to use it are two different things, but he was being sworn in when I heard him say it. But no thinking person would say this is an administration that wants to go in the history books as being the one that caused the end of the world.
Don’t forget to email me for the address to the send those c-notes for me to use for, uh, all the port cleansing stuff.

Osama has issued another audiotape (why never a cd or an mp3 file?) apparantly it’s a slam against Saddam for being captured so easily, basically OBL says “I’ll never be captured alive.” That leaves being captured dead, and I think I, at least, can live with that.
Partial transcript.:

…Haha, that’s right, American infidels, if you ever dig me out of my cave, you’d better be ready to meet Allah, because I’ll be ready to make the intro, know how? Because that grenede I’ll be clutching will already have the pin pulled. You’ll be all, “look we got him, we got Osama, quick take my picture”, then, BLAMMO. 73 virgins for me, I got upgraded, I’m a frequent Jihadi, and eternal hellfire for you!

Oh noooo, you won’t be delousing me or checking my teeth on video, noooo and degrading me like you did ol’ Spiderhole man, the big baby, noooo. Not that you’d find any lice on me. They really are a significant source of protein!  the experience is not unlike eating popcorn, popcorn that you find crawling on a friends scalp. But that is not the point. The point is when I go down, I’m taking as many of you with me as… [distant rumbles]….  infidels I got to go..[sound of squeaking].. the cave rats are running in towards us…. away from the bombs, there’ll be fresh meat tonight, yum! Oh, and don’t forget, read Chomsky!   I do!

So, bagged and tagged instead of cuffed and stuffed. I applaud him for saying that, that’s the way I’ve wanted it all along, the dead part not the taking some of us with him part. Of course, “Hussein in the membrane” said something similar, back before we nabbed him and got him addicted to Cheetos.

Because it had be done.
