No, the data shows clearly that indeed 95% of americans according to this scientifically conducted study have had pre-marital sex.

Now i understand conservatives have a problem with science, but it must be nipped in the bud, before it becomes more serious.
First, I'm not a conservative and, second, I don't have a problem with science (as long as it is completely free of a priori assumptions such as the philosophies of naturalism or creationism), I have a problem with calling this kind of study "science."
