About a third of the populace don't know what plate tectonics are. We
are a nation of idiots and Republicanism and religois occultism are
the consequences.

Remarkable interpretation since not one single element of it is in any
way mentioned by Darwin himself. In short, you are interpreting from
something other than Darwin's writing ... or perhaps your brain.

The answer is obvious. The Scientists and Professors are in posession
of the wrong information.

* What wrong information? There is no evidence for a creation so how can
they have the wrong information? If there is scientific evidence for this
"creation" let the creationists produce it. So far they haven't.

They know this but teach it anyway. They like their fancy houses and
expensive cars.

* Huh? What does that have to do with no evidence for a magical creation?

It's only obvious to you because you want it to be. No one else sees it
that way. Darwin never mentioned god or demons in any of his works.

You are looking at his

You are looking at it with creationist glasses - he never mentioned gods in
his books.

You have a site for that by any chance? In Darwin's unscientific times
people would believe anything. They had no idea what caused disease, mental
illnesses etc. Is that how you want to live now? In ignorance? Stifle all
the scientists? Keep bad mouthing them showing you have worse morals and
values than they do?
