So you are still talking about big majority 61-38% who believe in evolution over the fundamentalist Biblical view

Have you taken into account those that believe in theistic evolution? (That wouldn't include me, but it probably wouldn't include you either.)

So it's the Creationoids who are actually losing ground. BWAAHAHA.

aren't you in for a rude awakening....!

We are all in for a rude awakening if Hillary is elected President in 2008 due to reasonable people being scared away from the Republican party because of overzealous fundamentalist shoving their beliefs down their throats. Refighting the Scopes Monkey Trial will do just that. The election of Bill Clinton not once but twice shows you Evangelicals can't win an election all by yourselves.

But no I'm not in for a rude awakening, The numbers are what they are and they get worse for the creationst.

According to the 2002 Annual Meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention 88 percent of the children raised in evangelical homes leave church at the age of 18 and overall your numbers are dwindling.

So in the coming years those numbers will only get worse for the Creationist, The truth always does win out in the end. I just worry about the damage you will do in the short term.

 Yes that's in the numbers, But while I don't agree with theistic evolution, unlike YEC it is a reasonable position and it really doesn't concern me because unlike fundamentalism which wants to bring our science education back to the Dark Ages, theistic evolution doesn't effect our science education one bit.
