But the US has some of the best universities in the world:

So why are they so divided about Evolution?
Well the answer to both questions of course is that Europe has had religious repression for centuries and the USA was founded upon religious freedom. So while free thinking is more pronounced in Europe that is only because it isn't worth much. We Americans are much more smarter than y'all.
An interesting aside is that Evolution has thrived so much there is because while we were engrossed in careful study the brits - with their bad teeth - were out playing in the mud saying stupid things like; "I bet this mud thats gone up the crack of my spotty ass would come to life if I was struck by lightning 'cause God is mean and the Beatles are not boring as hell at all ... Baaaahhhhh!!!" or words to that effect while we American persons were forbiden to say such silly things.
Oddly enough, though, there are a bunch of us over here who think its a pretty good idea to teach the religion of Atheism in the classrooms through the wonderfully ever changing dogma of Shinto ... SORRY! Evolution.
Since most of us have the sense to know that what they teach in public schools has absolutely no use at all and is about 87% bullshit anyway, who cares. As long as we can cheat our way through college and can use a spell check ... and our universities have wallclimbing and stupid shit like that ...
