Atheisms Oxymoron?

Recently I heard a comment by popular TV host Bill Maher, calling over 60% of Americans stupid, because of our belief in Creation according to God's 6000 year old word in Genesis of the Bible. Rather than the believe in a 150 year old unproven theory of Evolution by Charles Darwin.

Certainly much debate has gone on about this topic especially after our good friends at the ACLU pushed for the Scopes Monkey Trials in 1925. This led to allowing American schools to teach Darwin's theory along with every public school's mandated biblical curriculum.

My, my, my, how things have changed. Less than 100 years have gone by and today the oldest book on earth, the Bible, which was originally our Nations most valued school text book is not even allowed to be mentioned even for historical or literary value.

But my main point here, is that Mr. Maher's opinion of stupidity seems like an oxymoron and here is why:

I am one of the over 60% of those in the Creation category, who like many others have a personal relationship with my Creator. Which allows me to know that I know without a shadow of a doubt, that I am created in the image of God.

So wouldn't it be more stupid for the majority of Americans who say their Father is God, to believe those who say their father was an ape?
