Bill Maher discusses evolution, the U.S. and Slovenia. Click play.
Bill Maher once hosted a popular talk show in the U.S. called Politically Incorrect, which was shut down after some controversial comments, and then reborn as Real Time with Bill Maher.
The show recently tackled the subject of evolution and, specifically, research showing that support for evolution in the United States is relatively low and continues to erode. That sad story is here. The same research also showed that, in a survey of 34 countries, only Turkey has less believers in evolution. Slovenia ranked 16th, just ahead of Finland and right behind Ireland. The complete list of rankings is here.
One thing I find interesting (if that’s the right word) in the above clip is that although Maher is criticizing the United States, he actually seems to be angry because it’s behind such obviously shitty countries as “Bulgaria” and “Slovenia.” It’s a bit of a testament to the really hardcore patriotism that exists in the U.S., I think.
