Half the population believes in creationism and alien abductions.
I'll pass on putting any stock in their predictions or beliefs.
Isn't the creationism problem only present in a handful of southern, hyper-conservative states? Yes, I know that many believe it, but the majority of Christians who believe in Creationism aren't trying to force it down everyone's throats. In fact, many of them are open to modern science for the most part, and may even be studying evolution to find the link between the two. Also, I would be hard pressed to believe that half of the US population honestly believes in alien abductions.
Granted, you've stated statistics as fact without any sort of backing proof. Stop playing into the slashdot hivemind of "bash fundamental Christianity, get upvotes".
Did you not stop to think about the fact that if most of the country thinks a Mars mission is possible and/or plausible, then most of the country might vote favorably for a Mars mission in congressional and presidential elections? Sure, it is a long shot, but I'd rather be talking about how we can make that happen rather than making snide, uninformed comments about the dismal state of the American populace.
I'd be interested to know how many people still wear a watch as anything more than a big piece of jewellery.
I'm pretty sure those kinds of people are the ones apple is going to try to appeal to with this: The kind who wear watches for fashion more so than functionality.
