    If that's the polling, I'd be interested to see how the question was phrased. A lot of people accept the role of a Creator without denying the evolutionary process. The two are not mutually exclusive, but a poorly phrased poll might make them seem so.

    When regurgitating political clichés, you should heave them up them accurately. Your omitted "ivory tower," "un-American," "liberal elite" and "ivy league." Other than that, well done!

    Could your example be a little more vague and unclear? Are you referencing something specific, of have you just gone all postmodern on us again?
