Poll: Creationism Trumps Evolution
CBS.com ^ | 11/22/04 | staff

Posted on 11/22/2004 5:22:17 PM PST by pissant

(CBS) Americans do not believe that humans evolved, and the vast majority says that even if they evolved, God guided the process. Just 13 percent say that God was not involved. But most would not substitute the teaching of creationism for the teaching of evolution in public schools.

Support for evolution is more heavily concentrated among those with more education and among those who attend religious services rarely or not at all.

There are also differences between voters who supported Kerry and those who supported Bush: 47 percent of John Kerry’s voters think God created humans as they are now, compared with 67 percent of Bush voters

I was surprised by how many Kerry voters are creationists.

God use evolution to create all life.

Those that do not believe in evolution, do not believe in God.

That shows what good a little education will do you.

Natural selection is not blind, it depends on chemical and physical laws.

Evolution is a FAIRY TALE for adults.

With a fairy tale, you kiss a frog and it turns into a prince....and that's a fairy tale

With Evolution, you kiss a frog, add a little "pixie dust" called "time" and it turns into a prince...and that's SCIENCE.

I heard Zig Ziglar describe Evolution as follows:

1. You started in the Goo

2. Graduated to the ZOO....

3. and then became YOU

If God can devise an evolutionary pattern to bring life to what we know it as today, He is also capable of molding Adam & Eve from the clay. Both are equally miraculous and beyond full understanding by humans. Cheers.

Put the crackpipe down and back slowly away.

>>God use evolution to create all life.<<

You say this very definatively. Perhaps you have encountered a Burning Bush to let you in on some information that remains a mystery to most biologists?

You know, I wouldn't be surprised that if pollsters were to ask: "Do you even care to think about evolution or creationism?" I would bet that 99.99% would say they dont care. I mean, come on, no one ever thinks about it unless somebody on either side brings it up. I say let the evolutionists theorize and the creationists believe and let everyone get back to their own business. Of course, I personally think just the left ever bother to think about it.

DO ANY OF YOU EVER THINK ABOUT EVOLUTION VS CREATIONISM?

Sorry, the theory of evolution does not include primordial ooze, creation or any other event. It merely describes in exquisite detail how life adapts to changing environments here on Earth.

Why limit God to continuous intervention, when he can do it all from one Big Bang?

Yours is one of dozens of variations on the theme....the Evolutionist religionists keep changing the theory as science keeps proving it wrong. Punctuated equilibrium, gradualism, hopeful monsters...it's all the same BIG LIE.
