"I can't bring myself to lose much sleep about the issue of evolution, either. I just can't see it as anything to get to worked up about. If 42% of people don't know or don't care..."

Well, Joe Offer, as evolution explains all of life on Earth, including the existence of all those creeps you see in Sunday mass who've reverted to type by Sunday noon, I'd say that people who don't care are both incurious and pig-ignorant. That 42 percent really should be making you lose sleep. Unfortunately, in your case they won't, because it seems like you're one of them. You like the idea of creationism, and you don't really care to grapple with what evolution is all about. You're a nornal ignorant US Catholic, Joe. You and Pete are two cheeks of the same arse, and you couldn't put a credit card between 'em!
