I'm sure you all have heard the great news for anthropological studies the last weeks? 1 in 3 Texans believe that man and dinosaurs walked the Earth together.
Meet the Flintstones wrote:
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."
..
IOW:
I think this is the best comment I've seen so far on the topic:

I am glad I live in California...
"Another aspect of the particulateness of the gene is that is does not grow senile; it is no more likely to die when it is a million years old than when it is only a hundred. It leaps from body to body in it's own way and for its own ends, abandoning a succession of mortal bodies before they sink in senility and death" -Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene p.34

I am so glad I moved away from the great state of Texicus - 2 years was more than enough thank you very much.
And yes, they are exactly like that!!!
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.
