I suppose you Europeans think that we Americans are all primitive creationists.

Joe, you're backing the wrong horse.

42% of Americans hold the creationist belief that God created humanity as it currently exists a mere 10,000 years ago, according to a Gallup poll from May 2014. And that, I think you'll find, is far and away the greatest percentage of any country on the face of the earth with pretentions to civilization. Its also quite frightening that there are that many folks that abysmally ignorant in the U.S.

But we have a remarkable permanent exhibit at our Smithsonian Institution called the David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins.

We also have the Creation Museum in Kentucky, the Kansas State Board of "Education"[sic] and the Boards in Texas, Louisisna, and Kentucky. Fourteen (count 'em!) states use public tax dollars to fund the teaching of creationism.

It is a travesty and a disgrace.

Oh - and the Koch brothers? They're crap and the poster children for what's wrong with the electoral process in the U.S.
