63%... wow. No wonder there is such a wealth gap in America, the few smart people sell snake oil to the 63% and make millions.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

So 63% of the population are morons? Colour me unsurprised.
"You've all been selected for this mission because you each have a special skill. Professor Hawking, John Leslie, Phil Neville, the Wu-Tang Clan, Usher, the Sugar Puffs Monster and Daniel Day-Lewis! Welcome to Operation MindFuck!"
Hence why I'm unsurprised. It was only naturaly that 50+ percent were idiots.

Keep in mind they didn't say how many people they polled, or where. You ask a hundred people in the bible belt, you'd probably get "99% of Americans believe the universe is 6,000 years old."

Actually idiots preproduce quicker. Just look at that mother of the octuplets. Perfect example.
I don't think everyone of the 63% are stupid. As there have been many intelligent people in the past who believe in creationism. But a lot of that 63% are stupid.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Good point - maybe our collective stupidity is evidence agaisnt evolution?
Tsu also makes a good point. There is no indication of the validity of this poll as far as randomness or size of the sample.
No we are just fighting evolution tooth and nail. When is the last time you heard of very smart people having 7-8 children all with different partners, or hospital re-attaching a hand because a person with a descent IQ put his hand under the lawn mower?
Modern life is just to easy for people to dumb their way through.
Give a man a fish he eats for a day........beat that man to death........you have an extra fish.

Yep. We've cut the majority of natural selection out of our evolution, through our technology. I wouldn't be surprised to see that humans a hundred years from now are even more retarded than the majority today.

I thought it was clever.
