Facts would work. Statistics are meaningless but useful. They can prove anything someone wants them to because anyone can do a *study* to support anything they want. All you have to do is do enough of them and slant it the way you want with the type of question asked or sample used.

"Facts would work."

Again I ask you, on what grounds do you dispute the facts I presented? What was wrong with the polls? Hand waving them away is less than persuasive.

"Statistics are meaningless but useful."

Only if you're ignorant and can't understand what the poll said. What you are saying is that no matter what info I provided you with to back up my claim that most people in the USA who accept evolution are Christian, you would dismiss it a priori because according to you all statistics are meaningless. You therefore never asked me for the info in good faith; not really surprising I might add. You rejected it before I even provided it.

Again, I provided you with the info you asked for and you have done NOTHING to challenge that info on any substantial ground.
