Apparently more than 80% of the French believe in evolution, demonstrating their intellectual superiority over us dumb Americans who largely believe in creation. I would venture to say the acceptance of evolutionary theory in France has little to do with their understanding of science. On the French version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, 56% of the audience thought the sun revolves around the Earth! If you get a scientific fact as basic as this wrong, I wouldn’t trust you to open a science book, yet alone evaluate the veracity of a scientific theory!
Check out the video. Very funny, and yet very sad.

There may be more Americans who believe in the theory of Divine creation than in the theory of evolution; while in France, it’s the opposite. It only goes to show that intellect, most of the time, is clouded over by religious beliefs.
