Texas; where else?
Nearly a third of Texans believe humans and dinosaurs roamed the earth at the same time, and more than half disagree with the theory that humans developed from earlier species of animals, according to the University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll.
The differences in beliefs about evolution and the length of time that living things have existed on earth are reflected in the political and religious preference of our respondents, who were asked four questions about biological history and God:
• 38 percent said human beings developed over millions of years with God guiding the process and another 12 percent said that development happened without God having any part of the process. Another 38 percent agreed with the statement "God created human beings pretty much in their present form about 10,000 years ago."
• Asked about the origin and development of life on earth without injecting humans into the discussion, and 53 percent said it evolved over time, "with a guiding hand from God." They were joined by 15 percent who agreed on the evolution part, but "with no guidance from God." About a fifth — 22 percent — said life has existed in its present form since the beginning of time.

They say that everything's bigger in Texas, Evidently lots of things are dumber as well. But we already knew that.

They have a university in Texas?
Or is this a use of the word "university" that is as estranged from the regular use of "university" as the use of "museum" is from the regular use of "museum" when used by creation museums?
One wonders what is taught at a "university" in Texas... |

TEXAS, where theists and delusional politicians can live with their fantasy's together. Inquiring minds want to know, what's yours Mr. Bush? "I'm from Texas, I am a Texan. I talk to God and God speaks back to me, like when God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq".
Ah! The Flintstones were great. One classic was the baby elephant used as a vacuum cleaner.
Praise God and all His wonderful intelligent designs, all documented live on the Flintstones. All left out of the creation science museum dioramas.

Oddly, one cannot see the image until one has gone to the website itself.

Odd indeed. It shows up on my box just fine. 
Must be another Illuminati conspiracy to take over TX.

Thanks for the props, Podcat. Something yall might be interested in is a radio rendition of Mark Twain's Mysterious Stranger, where satan visits earth and hangs out with some kids who are Mideval Europe versions of Huck and Tom.
It's all about moral relativism and one of the greatest slams on Xianity written by Americas favorite author.
go to http://acksisofevil.org/innerside2005.html and scroll down to #28, it's a nine part series.
