think they meant that 1 of 5 Americans think the lottery is the EASIEST way of attaining wealth, which it probably is, aside from inheriting it, which wont even cost you a dollar to buy the lottery ticket.

Nope. From the article I posted above:

About one out of five Americans believe that winning the lottery is the most practical way of attaining personal wealth

If most of the people support I.D. being taught in classrooms, then it should be taught, because it is the PEOPLE who's taxes keep the schools functioning.

If most people support that Pi=3.00, should schools teach that, too?

The symbol/value pi is a well known mathematical concept, that has been proven.

The theory of evolution is just a theory, which atheists like to believe, and want to force everyone else to believe, is fact.

I wish my latin was better,
I'd say something like 'reducto ad absurdum' (or was that Harry Potter?)

Regardless what I might believe personally, the evolution and only evolution group on FR appears to be terrified of being questioned and that suggests to me that there is a hole in their theory; perhaps larger than the obvious 'how'd it get started and what allows for the machinery of micro evolution?'.

Reducing the debate to likening 69% to 20% and then to Pi = 3.00 'because it's confusing' only underlines that observation.
