Ironically, The Reason Why Two Thirds Of Americans Don't Believe In Evolution Is Because Two Thirds Of Americans Don't Believe In Evolution...seriously It Is Called The Bandwagon Effect Aka The Herd Effect Aka Groupthink Mentality: The Desire To Go Along With The Majority To Avoid Conflict And Violence And Discrimination, This Is One Of The Reasons Why People Tend To Stick With The Religion That Most People Believe In The Area In Which They Live.... Everyone Has A Desire To Be Loved And Accepted, A Religion Is Just A "scene" To Be A Part Of...
 
...sicence shows to convince them? It occurs to me that we haven't had a good Mr. Wizard science show in a while. Yeah, there was Bill Nye, but he was... Bill Nye.

But in today's grittier, more extreme times, is it time for science to update its image with a more action packed, extreme science show... like "Torturing with Science"?

"Okay boys and girls, check out this awesome experiment! We've got Ken Ham here strapped naked to this stripped down innerspring mattress for a totally wicked reason. See that bed underneath him? That's full of broken glass, dusted with sodium. You can see Ken's already starting to glisten a bit there, so let's crank up the temperature and really get some sweat going. Okay, so here's what you want to pay attention to. Sodium is an alkaloid metal that combusts on contact with water. Humans have evolved an evaporative cooling system that works by dripping water from their skin, and gravity causes objects o mass to be attracted toward one another, and the Earth that glass is sitting on is pretty darned massive! Now, when that first drop hits, the glass will probably shatter, or shoot straight up into an unfortunate part of Ken, and he'll start bleeding, thus setting off a "chain reaction", and remember boys and girls, that's our term for the day. Now, those are a lot of concepts, but I can sum it up in two words: SHRAPNEL POPCORN! Are you ready, kids?! Let's watch!

Tell me people wouldn't tune in to learn about science if it was like that.

"Coming up next, on Mr. Wizard's Dungeon of Horrors, we've got Janet Folder and her family strapped to a wall, and we've rigged up these machine guns that we've pointed at her family to a switch, Now we're going to duct tape the switch in her hand along with a couple of electrodes. We know from our biology lessons last week that electric currents cause involuntary muscle contractions in animals, so if we're an animal, then Janet's family is in trouble... but if she's right, she can pray to Jesus to get her out of this. Are you ready with your prayer to Jesus, Janet? It's hard to make out what you're saying with all that hysterical sobbing, but I think I heard a Jesus, so Janet's good to go! After the commercial break when we throw the switch and see what happens! It's gonna be fun for the whole family. Especially Janet's! Be sure to stay tuned to find out what happens!"

"And remember, no one's claimed that reward on Dr. Hovind yet. You know the drill... first person to bring in his head gets that quarter mil he's promising evolutionists... and a trip to Aruba! With one of our fabulous Bunnies or Buckies, your choice! And what are we doing with this alligator, that pile of chicken, and a greased up funnel? You'll just have to wait and see, but you won't want to miss a moment!"
 
Science talks of theories which changes after evey 50 years. Against it, all the divine religions talks of determined truth which is ever lasting which prevails on all theories.
 
you are one sick puppy. I think you got peoples' attention with your examples.
A good science show should be on several channels. Americans are leading the way to a dumb and dumber level of education.
Thanks for waking us up. Yuck
 
Why bother. It just means that 2/3 of Americans are ineligible for jobs in scientific fields which leaves more employment for the rest of us.
 
I doubt those figures are accurate. Most people do believe it, they just assume not to own up to it based upon their stance in the culture wars. Give it a couple years, it will change fa sho.
 
Perhaps some Evolution can be slipped into American Idol, The Hills, and in commentary during Nascar races and NFL games.
