Some 59% of biologists asked if they believed in God marked “Yes”.
Thus a majority of biologists believed in God.
A majority of scientists believe in God.
It is a creationist myth that scientists are atheists and that science is the domain of atheism. Thus their overall ignorance of the methodology of and findings of science.
The less educated someone is the more likely they are to be a creationist.
Meaningless statements (as I noted in my previous posts above) unless further questions are asked, such as, "please define the god in which you believe." Jihadists believe in "god", they know him as "Allah".
"It is a creationist myth that scientists are atheists and that science is the domain of atheism. Thus their overall ignorance of the methodology of and findings of science."
There are fundamentalist "literalists" on both sides of the equation.
"The less educated someone is the more likely they are to be a creationist."
"Mis-educated", and "mis-informed" are more correct terms that would apply to most and render them innocent. Of course, some are "willfully ignorant" for various reasons. They won't be held guiltless.
The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth, About Everything
"...There are, of course, modern, deviant forms of Christianity that reject evolution, but these turn out to be much more similar to materialistic science, not in terms of content, of course, but in the form of thought.
"We are not a participant in this battle, since it is really between two forms of flatland literalism which can only account for creation with recourse to magic -- the magic of "it just happened" vs. the magic of "God made it all happen."
"The latter is, of course, closer to ultimate truth, but this is little consolation once we remember that it is also what the Mohammedans believe -- that God is responsible for everylittlething that happens, with no mediation by anything else, from physical law to human free will. So in either case -- the false religion of scientism or the bogus science of religionism -- we end up with man stripped of his innate dignity, and a man without intrinsic dignity is not a man. ...."

And of course, you make no bones about not being a creationist.
Aren't you just something special? Just so proud of that intellect of yours, aren't you?
I've found the opposite to be the case - the more educated someone truly is, as in they actually know things and have really learned to use logic, reason, etc., the more likely they are to doubt evolution.
Considering all the social and economic problems, many of which are rooted in science, that have been foisted on us by the so called educated, you've got a lot of nerve to sit there smugly and imply that we're the dumb ones. You really are one arrogant SOB...
By definition, believing in God is to believe in an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent being that surely MADE i.e. *created* all we see and know and experience...therefore you just destroyed your very own argument...you just admitted that a majority of educated scientists believed in God then you turned around and made the non-sensical leap that the LESS educated someone is the more likely they are to be creationists. You JUST provided proof of the exact opposite. I see logic continues to not be one of your, ummm...strong points.
"The less educated someone is the more likely they are to be a creationist. "

This scientist's refinement of that statement:
"The less educated someone is the more likely they are to be a 'Young Earth Creationist' "
