    This made me Google the stats for my own country and its somehow even worse than the fucking USA. According to a 2011 poll, 56% of the people there believe in some form of creationism and outright reject evolution, which is just so cool and normal.

      Canada isn't on there, so if anyone's curious, around 21% believe in strict creationism, 66% believe in evolution. BC is the only province where a majority (55%) believe that creationism shouldn't be taught in schools
