Most Americans are fucking morons. The stupidity is out of control and it's getting worse.
For example, there is this thing:
If you've never heard of young-earth creationists, We Believe in Dinosaurs offers a sound introduction as it documents their building of an enormous, $120 million "life-size" Noah's Ark in rural Kentucky to prove that the Bible is scientifically and historically accurate. These are folks who reject evolution, think that the Earth and its lifeforms were created by god 6,000 years ago, and look at the story of Noah as factual and the flood as the reason we have all these dino fossils all over the world. They even have their own fundamentalist "scientists" who lecture on the topic. As one actual scientist put it, "They might have degrees in science, but they are not scientists."
The rest of it is at The Widespread, Willful Ignorance of We Believe in Dinosaurs

Some more "Idiot America Stupid" here: This Young Earth Creationist’s Take on a Flat Earth Conference Is Hilarious
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
