Stranger in a Strange Land
ABCNews reports that 61% of Americans believe the biblical story of creation. I'm not going to address this issue, but I was thinking about it and I'm not sure I know a single person who believes in the biblical story of creation. So just how out of touch with "America" am I? Why is it that these polls make me feel like I must somehow live in a completely different country?

I believe in the story of creation. I know it is true because the fairy princess turnip that lives in my backyard said so.
...and me too, I believe EVERYTHING I read...
I'm praying for you.
Actually, if polled I would respond with the 61%. It depends how they phrased the question. I don't think you have to take every word literally and I wouldn't trust any historian or single testimony 100%, especially one that had been translated so many times. We are all revisionists to a certain extent. For me science answers how and religion why and sometimes having an answer for why is more meaningful. And maybe that 61% has got the better of us when it comes to having faith in things we can't touch or prove like love, for example. (At the very least we can understand how Bush was elected) :).
