161. Most people everywhere are ignorant.
Here in Australia with no organized Christian Right, and church attendance rates similar to France, most people believe in Creationism. Coz its a story they can understand. Even most of those who support Evolution can't explain how it works.

When you hang out with only educated middle-class people you can easily forget how the working class thinks. A majority of adults would not be able to explain gravity or the Round-Earth theory either. They believe in them because someone told them so and they never ask questions.
