59% of Canadians accept the reality of evolution, while only 22% believe some dude named God poofed man, the earth, the universe, and everything else into existence less than 10,000 years ago. Of course, we have a bunch of non committal Canadians who "don't know." These are the same people who would answer "don't know" to just about anything because they just don't want to risk that they might give the "wrong" answer. The don't knows could also have included those yo yo's who believe the earth is old but "macroevolution" never happened.
Click here for the actual poll results.
Here is what Americans "believe."
Of course, the more educated one is, the more likely that person is to accept evolution and an ancient earth. And on a bright note, the younger generation of Canadians accept evolution more than the older generation.
The second poll question was way too wordy. The Big Valley Creation Science Museum opened this month in Alberta. One of the museum’s displays suggests that dinosaurs and human beings co-existed on earth. Do you agree or disagree with this assertion? Canadians don't have the greatest attention spans. After around 12 words, many Canadians minds start wandering off thinking about beer or hockey.
The results just didn't jive with respect to the first question on whether one believed in evolution or creation. 42% agreed with that statement, while only 37% disagreed. Again another 21% were non committal. Besides not really understanding the question, I'm going to blame Canadian television which used to have The Flintstones on way too much.
I was really surprised that Quebec doesn't have as many reality deniers as the rest of the country. I would have thought that they had way more yard ape YECs.
If you want BS or Political Correctness you have come to the wrong place. FAQ How can you be an atheist Jew?

Canadian Mensa Member Proves Intelligence & Insanity Are Mutually Exclusive
While checking out my subscription's videos on Youtube, I checked out member akg41470's new videos. This Youtubist does a series called "Actually...," which refutes creationist nonsense videos that are posted on Youtube. Episode 13 caught my eye, because the reality denier who was being refuted claims to be a member of Mensa Canada.
Wazooloo is a dude who is approaching 40. His videos are long, but worth watching if you like watching someone making a complete fool of themselves. Also, anyone who likes psychology may enjoy this as a case study in delusion and insanity. I watched both as I was intrigued by the fact he is a Canadian "genius." I know my atheist readers will enjoy these. His whole premise is that the bible is 100% accurate and some of his insights will make you laugh out loud.
I'm wondering if Mensa Canada is a scam. I did their 10 minute workout sample test. It took me 3 or 4 minutes, and I got all 5 questions correct. Maybe it is just that I am a Super Duper Mega Genius.
These literal biblicists think that science is just like the bible. If you can find one thing that scientists were wrong about, it means all of science is wrong.
As I've state before, the internet will cause the death of Young Earth Creationism. These fools should just keep their nonsense in their own homes and places of worship, if they want to keep their flock numbers up.
Anyway, this guy is an embarrassment to Canada and Mensa.

Two Tags In One Post
I actually got tagged three times recently, but one of the tags has to do with specific Israeli leaders, and I'm just not qualified for it. Sorry about that Hear, O Israel.
First, I will tackle the tag form Oleh Musings:
1) Name your favorite band and singer. (The singer can’t be from the band)
Favorite band is The Beatles. Favorite singer is Billy Joel.
2) Favorite historical politician (domestic)?(Historical = Dead)
Pierre Trudeau, because he was such a hippy.
3) Favorite historical politician (International)?
Abraham Lincoln, because I can't think of anything that has been said about him that was bad. Well, except from a few slave owners.
4) You’re giving a Hollywood pitch (25 words or less) about your Blog — GO
I'm the Bacon Eating Atheist Jew. My viewpoints generally disturb the majority of the world's population, even though I'm almost never wrong.
5) Other then where you live now, what city do you like?
Aruba is the size of a city, so lets say Aruba.
6) Favorite modern politician? (In office now)
Stephen Harper. He showed back bone with his stance against Hamas.
7) Are you a Wilsonian Idealist or Nixonian Realist in foreign policy?
I had to look this one up. Nixonian. You aren't gonna change people to become you, you need to deal with reality, and hope that others eventually get it.
8)Favorite obscure movie?
The Man With Two Brains is pretty obscure.
What is your favorite restaurant?
Pizza Hut.
10) Choose a music video on YouTube. Why that one?
It was the logical choice for me.
Now I will take on the tag from Atheist Hussy
* We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
* Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don't forget to leave them each a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
1. I snore. Or so I've been told.
2. I think once in my life I went a whole month once without biting my nails. I clipped them instead.
3. When I dream, I usually have a full head of hair.
4. I like it when people tell me how smart I am.
5. I've actually changed my opinions about many things since starting this blog, thanks to new information.
6. I wish I was 14 again.
7. I'm not nearly as motivated as I should be. I think I should have accomplished more than I have already.
8. I'm really happy I'm not a young earth creationist. There is a sense of freedom not being wilfully ignorant about anything.
Anyone who wants to be tagged for either or both, consider yourself tagged.

Who Would A Canadian Atheist Jew Vote For In US Election?
I figure, why not get interested in the Presidential race since it takes up so much room on the cable news shows I watch daily, and also, since I don't watch baseball anymore, and the Sopranos are done.
I know for sure, I'm going to blog my ass off if one of the three stooges who put their hands up when asked if they didn't believe in evolution, ever become serious candidates.
So I found this site called SelectSmart.com and here is of candidates in order of those that agree most with my answers to the quiz:
Your Results:
1. Theoretical Ideal Candidate (100%)
2. Hillary Clinton (72%)
3. Joseph Biden (70%)
4. John Edwards (68%)
5. Dennis Kucinich (62%)
6. Al Gore (59%)
7. Alan Augustson (58%)
8. Barack Obama (55%)
9. Wesley Clark (54%)
10. Christopher Dodd (48%)
11. John McCain (48%)
12. Rudolph Giuliani (46%)
13. Mike Gravel (46%)
14. Bill Richardson (45%)
15. Mike Huckabee (44%)
16. Tommy Thompson (41%)
17. Duncan Hunter (39%)
18. Sam Brownback (39%)
19. Mitt Romney (38%)
20. Elaine Brown (34%)
21. Tom Tancredo (34%)
22. Fred Thompson (32%)
23. Chuck Hagel (31%)
24. Newt Gingrich (27%)
25. Ron Paul (27%)
26. Jim Gilmore (23%)
27. Kent McManigal (23%)
As an aside, I'm noticing the David Duke fan club is really rallying around Ron Paul. He is definitely out in my books thanks to that. I'm glad he appears close to the bottom of my list. The stooges all show up on the bottom half of my list (Brownback, Tancredo, and Huckabee).
I did a post once which outlines my views: Lets Pretend I'm Supreme Ruler of Canamerica

Creation Museum Is An Embarrassment To The West
Why can't YECs (Young Earth Creationists) just be honest and admit that they don't really want to understand evolution or science and that their science book is the bible, instead of pretending that they have scientific evidence that supports their claims and that all other scientific claims that state otherwise are wrong? Why do they embarrass themselves and our education system?
I wish theists would just admit that they believe in God (or a literal bible) because they need to believe that there is an afterlife. Nothing to do with facts, but all to do with faith. Very few theists will admit this. They would rather grasp onto insane reasons to back up their need to believe, than seem too simple.
The Creation Museum is a product of insecure insane beliefs going to the extreme. It is a museum of lies and deceit. If Ken Ham actually believes all his nonsense after being directly scrutinized by many scientists, he has to be completely nuts.
This is a pretty funny short video. "Who let the Jew in the Creation Museum." LOL The sad thing is that quite a large number of Jews do not accept evolution as fact, and even more discouraging is the fact that there are Jews who think the earth is literally young as well:
I read an interesting comment today. Someone, on Youtube commented that "it isn't atheists who believe that something came from nothing, it is creationists who believe that."
Before any anti-evolutionist theists comment here, please watch this entire video first. It explains how and why evolution is fact:
