Despite a court-ordered ban on the teaching of creationism in US schools, about one in eight high-school biology teachers still teach it as valid science, a survey by Pennsylvania State University researchers reveals.
About 16 percent said they believed human beings had been created by God within the last 10,000 years.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

It scares me to think of what those numbers were in the 50's 60's and 70s, decades we now look back upon as a time when American society seemed "more secular". How pathetic is THAT?
I don't recall having a science teacher who wasn't an avowed Creationist. Then again, I live in Missouri.
I'm from South Carolina, so I totally feel you, man. It's probably even worse here!
What's pathetic is that most people still think that all creationists are "young earth" creationists. There so many more flavors than Vanilla. Yes, the earth is at least 4.5 Billion years old and it takes light Sooo much longer to travel from stars to the earth. Just because you share 99% of DNA with another animal it does not make you that animal. It's that darn 1% that makes the differance! Funny how people crow about wanting choices and these same people don't want to let others make certain choices!
Wow, how intelligent.
Yeah, I mispelled difference...so what...
First of all, the majority of scientists before Darwin were creationists. So get your facts straight. Secondly, this nation was founded on Christian beliefs and values before the secular humanists took over. America has not been the same since.
