If you've ever wondered if America is doomed to decline, here's your answer. In an age where technology will be key to success, and medical science is poised on the edge of great advancement, over half of Americans still believe in divine intervention. Faith is a wonderful thing, but when faith flies in the face of consistent emperical evidence, is one's faith helping or hindering? And what happens when that evidence is ignored, not in the context of personal decisions, but of national policy?
Interesting thought from Pryme: how much overlap is there between those who "believe" and those who cannot afford health care? Is it faith, or desperation?

desperation.
It might not be faith, you might be right. It might be presumption, which is not faith.
