  • I am disappointed in my country ;( I'm moving to the UK

  • Ignorance...is in our social Behavior, so before you go giving credit to popular opinion...sadly, it means nothing. A more accurate conclusion is that, poor people without higher education, and forced to believe from one generation to the next, should be disqualified from any accurate polling.

  • And I was gullible enough to think that we had set this question to rest 70 years ago or so...silly me.

  • No shit that peole with an education dont blindly belive in Genesis

  • I think God had a giant garage sale, and we were all had tags with "As is" written on them.

  • omg they are even dumber than in first video, every second american is a total ignorant

  • This makes me very, very sad.

  • I'm an American Atheist. And people wonder why I want to leave this country...

  • Comment removed

  • It is sad to see so many people raging against the one thing that truly loves them.

  • @kaderoder I never rag on my mother.

  • And Americans get mad when they find out the rest of the industrialized world thinks we are stupid. With numbers like that I can't really argue against them :(

  • @s5b678

    In all fairness, there are a lot of other places in the world where people are more stupid: Africa, South America, India, most of southeast Asia (including most of China, excluding Japan and possibly South Korea), Central America, some of eastern Europe, THE MIDDLE EAST, etc...

    Don't bash us unfairly. I may be leaving a couple of countries/regions out, but those that are possibly average smarter than us on these matters are Western Europe, possibly Australia & New Zealand, & Canada.

  • @psyclistic All the places you mentioned are the so called "3rd world",where the vast majority of the population is deprived of quality education-among many other things.For them it's a matter of inaccessibility,for Americans is a matter of setting priorities.Putting it simply,education and being informed in general is not on your top priorities.As long as you make money,you're higly valued even though you're an ignorant bufoon.

  • @psyclistic And having experienced this before,please don't use the current financial situation in my country as an argument-insult,that will just be an affirmation of the video's title.You're not doing that well either and you're a world superpower not a small, resourceless country. Greeks are among the smartest and best informed people in Europe,feel free to research that. The financial crisis is due to political corruption and corporate greed,not a nation's intelligence.

  • @chrisgr2008 I thought the Greek crisis was because they are incredibly lazy...work 8 hours a day? haha yeah right.

  • ignorance should be criminal

  • Comment removed

  • Where did the bible come from????? Oh ye some crazy guy wrote it down and some dick heads believed him

  • @alexPeasley95 The same guilts for Koran too !

    Do not miss the fact, though, that the first holly writings were jewish - Kabala, Tora and so on ... All other religions have copied some of the ideas of the previous ones. There is also a hypothesis that Jesus ( Jeshwa ) has actually studied somewhere in India and copied some of the ideas from Mahabharata and Ramayana . Combining it with judaism, he created christianity, which was later transformed and eventually survived the way we know it.

  • 1:36 Go fig, educated people do not believe in magic.

  • The annoying thing with presenting proof to all religious people is that they would rather leave the room then debate with you the existence of their deity. All of our proof to them is just lies made up by Satan, whatever their "God" has done is mystical and beyond human explanation and so we should not even try to comprehend it. It isn't really their fault though. What with children's bibles and the weekly visits to the brainwashing meetings, did they really have a fair chance?

  • this video proofs that if you go to church you will be brainwashed, and the more often you go to church, the more brainwashed you will be. Also you can see that people with high education answar smarter then people with low education, which mean that smarter people that extend their mind will find out the truth about evolution, while the people that doesnt finish high school will most likely be christian.

  • damn all religions all they have done is clouded our minds from the truth we need to stop and advanced befor that giant ass ball of fire in the sky kills us all!!! xD wich it will not soon but it will we need to leave some how idk adam and eve makes babies they would have the same genes there for all genrations after that would be very similar and retarted the earths population would not be able to be as big as it is and you would be doing your sister =)

  • Any reason to believe in god? None whatsoever. It’s fun to argue with religious people that actually want to take the fight… they have few (if any) arguments. And always lose. There are two types of people in this world, intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence

  • thats scary shit

    only 13% of americans have a brain

  • why do none of their polls ever add up to 100%

  • we didnt evolve from a fucking animal you are the inferior one were here for a purpos not by random.

  • @forge229 Sorry were just smart monkey's. I know you don't like it because death and everything you cant understand frightens you but from dust you arose to dust we all show go. Now go live the best you can and give your knees a break from genuflecting.

  • hahahahaha you people are retarded!!!

    my uncle is king kong LOL

  • @Death2theNWO777 king kong? dumb fucking poisoned religious mind, and it is exactly for this reason that i wont bother arguing with your dumb ass

  • my ancestor was the GRAPE APE!! lol

    FOOLS...

    or was it king kong?

    hahahaha reeeeetards....

  • idiots are scary ....

  • @jannikmt We have nuclear weapons, by the way... *facepalm*

  • quick! Give everyone an honorary post-grad degree!

  • Hoooollly cow, that's scary.

  • I think its time America did a bit of spring cleaning and wiped out all of its morons. They are really bringing everyone else down.

  • yeah but ur missing the point, he said "americans" ,.. not the world,.. if we continue to follow waht "americans" think, we'll all own guns and have nuclear arms in our basements,. .. and all kill black people

  • creationist = teabagger and Fox News watcher.

  • @AggressiveAtheist

    this atheist = tea party kinda supporter and fox news watcher....

    explain

  • @AggressiveAtheist

    You do realize this exact same program revealed a poll that shows one is far more likely to dismiss the theory of evolution if they are a liberal democrat as compared to a conservative republican. Nice try guy. Seems to me, uneductaed creationsts= welfare happy, CNN watchers.

  • it is scary that this Us nation rules the world ...full of uneducated people

  • @journeyman66 If it was uneducated, it would not rule the world. Ever stop to think that you and people like you are the ones needing a education? The funny thing is, the education you need is free, you just keep turning your back on it because you think you have all the answers. The sin of pride will keep you in the dark.

  • @virtualguitarist LOL! You think the general public defines why the US is top? No, what makes the US top is its military.

  • It's a non-question, it's like asking 'do you believe in light?'. Facts aren't things to believe in, facts are just facts, regardless of what you believe.

  • This video is implying Christians are stupid. Which I can tend to agree with.

  • Nope, this video is implying Americansare stupid. Which i can tend to agree with.

  • @Snakkpack Christians aren't stupid. I'm not a Christian, but it is completely understandable why people are Christian. 1) Most North Americans are brought up to be Christians because of their parents and probably most of the people in their life as a child. 2) It is very hard to accept that we have no purpose and are probably gonna be rotting in the ground when we die.

  • @Snakkpack Not Christians... People... Theres blind, stupid, ignorants in every religion. But I have to agree that since its mostly christian in north america and weve been manipulated for so long, it tends to seem like christians are worse.

  • @Snakkpack are buddist stupid too, or just the christians?

  • America's filled with idiots. Good workers but idiots.

  • How embarrassing. Look at the video - whatever brainiac was at the keyboard use "develoved" instead of "evolved", or perhaps "developed". When education is so bad that people can't spell check when their work will be sen by thousands, how can we expect a basketball coach to do a proper job of teaching evolution in biology class, especially when we can still see the leftover marks of religious stickers the schoolboard placed on the covers of our texts?

  • @fkbryce: it's a TYPO. s/b DEVELOPED. big fucking deal. I wonder whatever brainiac was at the keyboard when YOU were typing. he just made a typo, too. "will be SEN by thousands"? have a nice day.

  • This guy is actually dead wrong here. This man's obvious lack of knowledge of evolutionary biology ( even though he appears to accept it ) is profound.

    The discovery of Ardipithecus Ramidus indicates that our last ancestor lived much much longer ago than previous evidence has shown. Also, Ardi has proven that our last ancestor was not a chimp at all, rather, it was another bi-ped; however, this bi-ped ancestor still had finger like toes mixed with reduced canines, an awkward combination.

  • "God has no part"......in that catagory god is still in exsistance, this is fuckin circular information and its stupid as fuck lol

  • It's scary that those dumb people have thousands of nukes waiting to bomb the earth

  • We do too believe in evolution you dummy.

  • I did not see evolution happen! therefore it does not exist! I have never seen mount Everest! therefore it does not exist! I have never seen America! therefore it does not exist! I have never seen god! but it would definitely be nice if there was one! therefore he does exist!

  • Hehe, good ones. I have one too. I was born 32 years ago so the world could not have existed before then because I was not around to see it. The world was created 6000 years ago? Pfft! The world is 32 years old!

  • well I'm 20, and i didn't see you type this, and was not around when you were "supposedly" therefore this is not a reply to you who i don't think exists.

    This logic really should run world ay.

  • the world.......

  • @samaitch I haven't seen you ! Do you exist ?

    " Credo quia ad absurdum " - " I believe, because it's noncense"

    Do you believe in noncese ? Why, do you think, there is such thig as faith in god ?

    Why do you think there are rules in all of the sacred books - like the Bible and Koran ? Why do you think the relligion was invented ?

    The answer : to controll the ones, that have nothing else to believe in, nothing like knowledge and strength ! Nothing like dignity and honour !

  • @samaitch

    that basically describes the lack of logic used when someone automatically dismisses the possible existence of God.

  • @samaitch If you have seen evolution, please shows us, we dont see it, but we have seen every thing else directly or indirectly you have mentioned. Show us a law of nature as a kind producing only its own kind, to prove that one kind indeed change into a new kind over millions of years. By the way there is no millions, but thousands :)

  • that is scary... no wonder the US is going down!

  • 1:44 Who is the fucktard that attend church weekly but dosen't believe in God and believe in evolution. LOL

  • It's a sad state of affairs for humanity as a whole when the population of any country tests this low... especially a developped western country.

  • The schools need a kick in the ass for not teaching evolution properly.

    Also it is about time some of those asshole preachers were held accountable for the crap they teach kids.

  • you really need to read a science book and not one bought from the creationsim museum.

  • Idiots.

  • im an american and this makes me fucking sick, i didnt realize how many idiots we have. i really need to stop my comments contradicting american hate videos :/

  • This is embarrasing for USA.

  • America needs to start putting creationists who purposefully misinform and lie, in Jail.

  • Religion is such a shitty and non rational philosophy. So if what "God" is saying is true, then that means people who believe in religions other than Christianity or are atheists cannot POSSIBLY be human, because we didn't have some almighty called Jesus to create us. I mean, how much of a moron do you have to be to believe in this kind of nonsense? Apparently, the majority of the American population, can't say that I am surprised though.

  • This country is going to be a dominion of christianity soon if our skeptics agnostics and athiests alike dont step up and speak out against these fundementalists . But with the amount of christians and fundementalists in this country i dont see that happening anytime soon.

  • Ohh America is beautiful. Nowhere in the world do dumb people have so much power and money.

  • Once again the average American doesn't fail to disappoint me.

  • WTF???

  • This poll is crap. No one asked me anything.If it is indeed true that means that 46% of the American population is completely retarded! Good to know I fall into the "sane" 12 to 14%.

  • This video shows that there is a connection between highly religious people and disregarding of scientific theory. Whether a person balances science and religion , they still believe in Evolution, that's all that matters. It's the people who take the bible to heart that disregard it, you need to be hesitant about.

  • its like these americans think theres only one religoin and think its right.

    in my opionion i beilvie in eveltotion

  • Fucking hell! 46% of you really believe the earth are less than 10,000 years old? The US is really going down the drain. With regards from europe.

  • Atheists, we have a lot of work left to do. Our fellow ignorant Americans obviously aren't going to educate themselves :)

  • Now, now, there is no need to be so presumptuous to assume that all of those that follow a religion do not believe in evolution. Every American I know is a believer in evolution regardless of being a theist or not.

  • you must have been thaught about evolution from a theist. the things you describe are no part of evolutional theory.

    we DO observe macro evolution. the only difference between macro and micro is time, you are basically saying its possible to walk to the driveway, but completely impossible to walk around the block.

    evolution makes no claim as to how life came into existence.

    you know NOTHING of evolution, stop discussing it when you are obviously ignorant on the matter.

    moron.

  • Jups time and that's why macro evolution is speculation because in theory they say it can happen but in reality it's not happening. THe fossil record is not showing it. It show a cambrium explosion with al the species as they are know. Jonathan Welsch explains that thoroughly. Chemical and biological evolution makes claims about the arival of life. We see degeneration of all species. The cheetay is almost exstinct because of his genepool which is getting smaller and more corrupted with errors.

  • Plus I have been taught about evolution by evolutionist and theists. I have no rational reason to believe in evolution. gravity is observational macro evolution is.t and it never happened. People make antibiotics but that's no evolution but chemistry and that still designing the right antobiotics. That's no evolution.

  • But when germs mutate an immunity and that mutation helps them survive it is evolution. Have you ever looked into the fossil record theres a lot of evidence for evolution. You could also look into the relation between Human chromosomes and other apes.

  • Chromosomes. Problem is that a taboco plant has 47 chromosomes and some plants, animals who are not looking a like have the same number of chromosomes so that's no argument for a common ancestor for humans and chimps. Our DNA is most related with worms so is he our ancestor no he isn't.

    Plus we Humans use the same technologies for cars, jet airplanes, motorcycles. I mean their is a general comon related technology. So i say one designer used the same principles in creating life.

  • I was actually talking about the human chromosome number 2 which is a fusion of 2 ape chromosomes thats why humans have 46 chromosomes while other apes have 48.

    Also theres no evidence for a designer as opposed to evolution which has genetic evidence, fossil records, and we've seen it happen. It's not a good idea to compare carbon based life with motorcycles either.

  • It's also kind of strange how you said " one designer used the same principles" because usually more than one person works on a motorcycle or a jet airplane.

  • We know more about evolution than we do about gravity.

  • macro evolution is happening as long as micro evolution is.

    macro evolution is not crocoduck, macro evolution is no more of an extreme transformation than micro evolution is.

    the fossil record does not show that...

  • That's the debate that not enough people have. I think it's clear the today's religions do a terrible job, but something probably would have to replace them if they are removed. So we should research the neurology of religion and find out what best would fill that gap.

  • I hear people debate all the time about whether science proves evolution. But the debate isn't really science at all. It's about which worldview improves quality of life the most.

    Anyone who says they can prove that God exists or that evolution is a fact is relying more on feeling than science. The whole debate is reminiscent of bipartisanship, and I find it disgusting.

  • Hmm Has nothing to do with intelligence whether you believe in evolution. I am a post graduate and i say i don''t believe in evolution because their is little observational evidence. Plus The higher you get the more evolution teaching and thus more brainwash seminars you will hear. Tell al lie long enough and you will believe it.

    Plus it's verry simple. We make spaceshutttles which are in comparison with nature > > nothing!!!! Logic is we are designed!

    Greetings from the Netherlands

  • Little observational evidence? Be consistent and say no to the people who are making your antibiotics. Those researchers used evolution to get you your medicine.

  • Sorry thats micro evolution and not macro evolution. Micro is just the variation within the species. Plus new information is not added, its just altering it a little bit or a loss of information.

    We do not see animals change in something else and that it happend in the past is just speculation because there is a huge gap in the fossil record.

  • you cant accept micro evo. and deny macro. macro evolution is just several micro evo.

    evolution does NOT allow anything to change into something else, when will you christians actually bother to read up a little on the theory of evolution? whatever you think you know about evolution is wrong.

  • I have read enough about evolution. And the theories look verry interesting but in the reality of life i don't see it. Sorry micro evolution is just a variation within in the kind. You know dogs and cats have lots of variations of cats. I don;t see evolution i see degeneration of all species. The gene pool is getting smaller and not bigger like evolution is telling you. A verry simpel argument: why are all species separate ones I don;t see intermediates now.

  • It's not intermediate species in a straight line, it's a common ancestor. This is not just semantics but a very real distinction that people, even those claiming literacy with evolution, don't seem to make.

  • little observational evidence? what is wrong with you? seriously...

    the theory of evolution has more evidence to back it up, and is more substantial than the theory of gravity. do you deny gravity?

    your education has failed you. because obviously you think its related to intelligence, you poor fool.

    greetings and a great big kick in the head from Norway.

  • Comment removed

  • After watching this video I lost my hope in mankind....

  • Data provided in this video suggest you shouldn't lose hope in mankind, just Americans.

  • No, I lose hope in bigots who cannot see people for who they are, yet choose bias instead. :)

  • By viewing the Universe, and the order rather than chaos suggests a designer or a creator. Even Einstein agreed with that. Eastern Religions such as Hinduism show a fantastic mix of "Gods" and Creation. If you enjoy the show Cosmos search YouTube for -"Carl Sagan - Cosmos Episode 10 part 4". Carl explains this relation very well and it is an enjoyable ten minute journey.

    Nothing proves or disproves any particular God or Creator, however you'd have to be blind to just rule out a designer.

  • And even more blind to accept one over the other with absolutely no proof at all.

  • It's not Creationism vs. Evolution

    It's Religion vs. Education

  • The percentages do not add up to 100 xD

  • cause some people probably dont have an opinion

  • the smart ones either drop out due to marginalization

    or get advanced degrees due to ambiton to prove a point

    lmfao

  • ............DUDE......WHAT I WRONG WITH AMERICA?!

    srly WHAT THE HELL DO THEY TEACH IN SCHOOL?!

  • nothing

    thats why the smart ones drop out

  • oh "your " god!!

  • This is pathetic.

  • the percent that doesn't believe in evolution is the percent that did not evolve.

  • just as I thought.

    Idiots.

  • I'm not the smartest guy around, I admit that. But even when I was a kid and raised religious, I still thought Creationism was a bunch of crock and Evolution was the real deal. Maybe I got lucky and wasn't completely brainwashed. Or maybe there really is a big chunk of idiots here in America. Depressing.

  • i totaly agree man.

    all it took was one evolution documentary in 6th grade to inlighten me to the fact that creationism does not make sence.

    Evolution has its flaws and loop holes, but its the most sound theory, and reading these statistics almost half belive in creationism just quite frankly scares me.

    lol .... i dont know what the "age of reason" is because apparently in america there is none.

  • there arent really any holes in evolution theory, those holes are artificially created by creationists.

  • I was about to reply by saying the same thing. What holes?

  • This is a sad day in America when people ignore scientific facts because of their dogma.

  • HOLY SHIT

  • American brains dont evolve at the same rate of the rest of the world, must be all the fast food and shit.

  • 46% of aAmericans are ignorantly STUPID!

  • Jesus H. Christ, This video scares me to death... For the sake of my sanity I'm staying in the northeast, and only leaving to travel to SoCal.

  • Suprising how advanced USA is yet these results show they are behind!

  • Pause at 1:43

    Only 1% of people who go to church weekly completely understand evolution??

    ...

    This is terrifying.

  • no, it's not that they completely understand evolution. it's that 1% of people who go to church weekly don't believe god had a part in human development. which to me is an odd belief to have if you go to church every damn week.

  • So, 46% of Americans don't believe in something which has been scientifically verified over and over for 150 years and is still water tight??? Tsk, Tsk.

    Sadly this means that Americans are soon to fade into the background technologically (and that means the end of supremacy too).

    The rest of the world (forget the Middle East they're even worse!) is romping into the future. Look at China. They're racing ahead and the Yanks are wading through religious muck bogged down by the church. So sad

  • America is the land of idiots and geniuses. Half of us are bible thumping retards and the other half are well educated and contribute greatly to society. Luckily its not a even playing field because the intellectuals have the work hard never give up America spirit that keeps the "jesus land" folks at bay.

    I wouldn't worry about China. Their communist government is holding them back possibly more so than the evangelicals are here in the states.

  • America, you should be ashamed of these results.

  • If man was as is; the perfect creature. Why have we been progressing slowly for several thousands of years?

    The fact that there has been improvement among mankind proves that we were not created perfect. By definition, something that is perfect CAN NOT improve further than it has.

  • I am an American who moved from the State of Texas to California. I can safely say that many regions of America are very simple minded. I ran away from Texas and lever looked back.

  • Texas and California of MEXICO!!!.

  • Yes I live in texas and I agree. It is an anti-intellectual mindset around here.

  • I realy think that the uk would not fair much better in a poll, theres dumb people everywhere, it does say a lot that the more education a person has the more likely they are to believe in evolution. I think most people just make up there mind first about any issue and hen ignore all contradicting evidece to there beliefs.

  • well, 46% of People living in Britain are atheist so there's some hope.

  • actually according to international pools less than 10% of people in the uk dont accept evolution. the us is right at the other end of the scale, and is only topped by turkey when it comes to the proportion of creationists.

  • Can you post a link to exactly where you are getting the information?

  • true. and have you noticed how on the British bank notes, we have Charles Darwin, and on the American notes they have "In God we trust". Funny

  • Yes but our Motto is "Dieu et mon droit", which never mind being religious, its fucking French!

  • Yay God!

  • LOL 5% of Americans couldn't pick A B or C

  • Hell they all made me think I was the dumb one for the longest time.. because I was uninterested in their nonsense or the normal persons BSing in general, I thought I hated homework because I was dumb or unmotivated, as I was told... But I know now that I was simply bored out of my mind...

    I went to a class for math during the summer one time, cause I was going to fail 7th grade, it took as much time to teach me 7th + 1/2 a year of 8th grade math as my school took to teach me half of 7th..

  • wait not half of 7th.. lets see..

    1 hour of math a day in school and I took maybe 10-12 weeks of the summer tutoring so 10-12 hours..

    So in 2 weeks time, I learned what would have taken my catholic schools math class a YEAR to teach me..

    How fucking ridiculous is that Gap..?

  • I went to a catholic school, my family is lower middle class, and I only have a GED.

    But my IQ is around 150 and I am a rationalist. If I want to know something I can analyze and determine. I think the average person is simply stuck at a 90-100 IQ there whole lives and so it's impossible for them to be analytical. A friend I grew up with, he couldn't understand simple things, it was laughable except that it was also sad. He was Not a person of below average intelligence, but average..

  • I think there the minds of rationalists work differently than those who follow what people say with no analysis, based upon whatever singular thread that runs through their mind to justify it at that moment.. "This guy is a priest, so he's right" kinda thing..

  • Oh and I only laughed at him because he also had a very large and stupid ego to go along with his ignorance, and he was one of my best friends.. I don't laugh at people just because they are average..

  • All of these polls are misleading. As Abraham Lincoln put it: "The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of society in the next." By these polls showing that more 'educated' people believe in evolution is simply by the fact that religion and creationism has been driven out of our schools. So, new generations opinions reflect what they are being taught in school now. It is not proof that one view is smarter than the other.

  • Awesome, now we finally have proof that Americans are dumb.

    Thank you.

  • Spreading HIV, rape, Misogyny, Mental Sickness, War, incest, Homosexuality, destruction of science and history, Pedophilia, lies, willful Ignorance, Destruction of education, racism, Misanthropy, Murder, ETC

    All these are the products of religion and all religion gives you in return is a thought in your head that when you die you will go somewhere that no one has ever seen or come back from....how can you plague the world for a thought and think you are righteous?

  • Didn't the Bible say that the Earth was 6000 years old? How could humans be created 4000 years before the Earth?

    Does not make sense

  • Creationists never make sense.

    They were thought to be dumb by their parents and their priests, so they could spread the wealth of idiocy around their peers.

    Creationist truly are dumb people.

  • I hope that even if you do not believe in the evolution, you understand that God created humans and animals to be much alike: feeling, compassionate, with a picture of the world, practical life,... Since our ways of functioning ARE alike: if we do not respect animals enough, we cannot find our own soul, since we too are living beings like any other creation of God!

  • Education: The cure to religion... So ture...
