http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=000D4FEC-7D5B-1D07-8E49809EC588EEDF&chanID=sa008
....................
Excerpt:
Embarrassingly, in the 21st century, in the most scientifically advanced
nation the world has ever known, creationists can still persuade
politicians, judges and ordinary citizens that evolution is a flawed, poorly
supported fantasy.
....................
How does one determine "the most scientifically advanced nation the world
has ever known". Obviously not by the general scientific acumen of the hoi
polloi. Among industrialized countries, school children in the US
consistently test below other nations.
Perhaps it's because of the accomplishments of the society. Heck, we sent a
man to the moon...30 YEARS AGO! And to underscore the discombobulated point
of this message, one of those astronauts was James Irwin, who has been on
several expeditions to Mt. Ararat to find the Ark.

Well, he's YEARS too late, Indiana Jones found it back in the '30's. It
made a mess of the Nazis.
Whoops, sorry, wrong ark...
