I have a somewhat deistic POV when it comes to creation. God set up the laws that resulted in the universe's creation, and the extent of his guidance after he set events in motion is not important--I mean, if he's omnipotent, he can set the exact events in motion right at the beginning without direct intervention thereafter, right? Am I an idiot? Very brilliant people hold more biblically literal interpretations. Are they idiots, just because science doesn't always agree? I'd wager if I read your posts more carefully, I'd find less than scientific assumptions in your posts. Let's see, ah...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Canada#Census_results
In 2001, 77% of your country identified themselves as Christian of one brand or another, not to mention the small sample of other religious affiliations. 22% of the country believes God created mankind in his present form and 20% are unsure. That's a sizeable group there, meaning that Canada is not so "creationist-free" as you might like to believe. Sadly this does not measure how many believe God had a role in the process of evolution, but considering how many are affiliated with Christianity, I'd say it's a decent portion. Meanwhile in the US, 46% believe mankind was created as-is, while 32% believe God guided the process. The US is about 73% Christian, plus some other minorities. So while we hold more to creationism than others, we are still largely open-minded to evolution and science.

It appears to me that you have a very un-scientific hypothesis: that Americans are nearly all "retards" who believe in unscientific things (and I gave you a qualifier that you yourself did not use) while Canadians are nearly all intelligent, rationally-minded individuals who don't preoccupy themselves with such nonsense. A simple examination shows that you are generalizing, that your hypothesis is false in its strictest interpretation, and not even true on a more general level. You have not thought scientifically. You have thought like a bigot. But at least gay marriage is not an issue for you, so you can sleep soundly at night knowing you're not a bigot.
