MORE AMERICANS BELIEVE IN ANGELS THAN HUMANS' ROLE IN GLOBAL WARMING
Raw Story - More Americans believe in guardian angels than humans' role in global warming, according to recent polls.
A Pew poll released late last month found that . . . while 57 percent believe that the earth's climate is changing, just 36 percent believe that humans are responsible. 77 percent believed that global warming existed in Pew's poll conducted in 2007.
The 36 percent who believe in human-caused climate change is fewer than the number of Americans who apparently believe they're protected by guardian angels, some 55 percent, according to a poll published in 2008.
"Half of all Americans believe they are protected by guardian angels, one-fifth say they've heard God speak to them, one-quarter say they have witnessed miraculous healings, 16 percent say they've received one and 8 percent say they pray in tongues, according to a survey" conducted by Baylor University published in September of 2008.
34 percent of Americans said they believed in UFOs and ghosts in a Halloween 2007 survey conducted by Ipsos.
Just 39 percent of Americans said in a February poll that they believe in evolution.

We are doomed, doomed, doomed by our insane superstitions.
Yes, and one of those illogical beliefs is the handsome smiling faces appearing on a box in your living room claiming to be experts on what you should eat, buy, listen to and think have your best interests at heart. I would say this is much more of a problem than people who actually treat others as they themselves want to be treated.
And for thousands of years socalled primitive peoples believed animals, plants and even rocks had spirits, therefore treated those entities with respect. How dumb was that?
