Gallup Poll: 4 in 10 Americans still hold creationist views

Posting other people’s talking points makes you look ignorant.

So does the complete misuse of thermodynamics by creationists.

[GourmetDan]

"Oops is right - are the eggs ready yet?"

Yes. Another evo experiment goes down in flames.

[CynicalBear]

>>Absolutely determined to take the word of men over the Word of God?<<

Nope. There are lots of Biblical references but you evidently have missed them.

Gallup Poll: 4 in 10 Americans still hold creationist views

Of course. But remember, 5 in 10 Americans are below average IQ. That means that even one fifth of the "dumber than a box of rocks" people understand that "creationist views" are absurd to the maximum.

BTW I don’t subscribe to creation.com talking points - not really even sure they are defending creation science rather than muddying the waters.

“Ohh, don’t talk about that item yet. We’re not sure we can defend it properly.” Sheesh - most of the scientific observations can not be fully understood nor explained nowadays.

List them here.

If you're in a room of 100 people, odds are likely about 40 think God created humans about 10,000 years ago, part of a philosophy called creationism, according to a Gallup poll reported Friday (Dec. 17).

This is total bullshit. I believe God created the heaven and the earth and everything in it but I have no idea when it occurred. Nor do I care.

[GourmetDan]

"The ecosystem we are talking about is Earth; therefore, decreased entropy is only required on Earth. Nobody is saying that the entropy of the Sun is decreasing. It is increasing massively, supplying the Earth system with abundant entergy."

Yeah, I know decreased entropy is required for evolution to work on the earth and you are the guy who believes in evolution. Therefore you are the one who needs to supply the equation showing decreased entropy on the Earth on a massive scale in order for evolution to 'work'.

You still don't understand your error. Are you the poster boy of evolution?

When the state granted me a license to practice engineering, they didn’t stipulate that only evoloosers could use the physical laws.

"There are lots of Biblical references but you evidently have missed them."

Yeah, I'd be interested in seeing what you think these 'Gap Theory' verses are too.

[Natural Law]

"The universe is a finite, bounded entity, that is, by observation, equally distributed about the Earth. Just like it says in God’s word."

So where are the pillars holding it up?

[editor-surveyor]

I didn’t realize that you were Hindu.

[GourmetDan]

Now you just don’t understand.

You are bound by the words of the Pope or any other ‘creation’ group that the atheists want to use against you. It keeps them from having to defend their beliefs.

Conveniently, they are not bound by anything anybody said because, well, science changes you know. All the time. Might be totally different tomorrow. You never know.

[Sopater]

Both sides require faith, but Evolution requires more faith than I have.

Same here. It requires faith that natural processes that have never been observed, but can only be imagined, are responsible for our existence. Evolutionists believe that amaizing supernatural miracles have occurred without supernatural influence.

[GourmetDan]

"This is total bullshit. I believe God created the heaven and the earth and everything in it but I have no idea when it occurred. Nor do I care."

Are you sure that is total bullshit?

What if not having any idea when it happened and not caring is really what is total bullshit?

Devolution: As in, “Are we not men? No we are DEVO?”

Let me go put a planter on my head.

[deltaromeo11]

Nice Explanation. Thanks.

[GourmetDan]

"So where are the pillars holding it up?"

Rut Roh. Looks like another oopsie.

Maybe it is The Four Pillars of the Standard Cosmology that you are referring to?

[upsdriver]

The total bs is the media using the 10,000 year template to “ridicule” bible believing Christians. No one knows.
