Poll reveals public doubts over Charles Darwin's theory of evolution

Belief in creationism is widespread in Britain, according to a new survey.

...

More than half of the public believe that the theory of evolution cannot explain the full complexity of life on Earth, and a "designer" must have lent a hand, the findings suggest.

And one in three believe that God created the world within the past 10,000 years.

The survey, by respected polling firm ComRes, will fuel the debate around evolution and creationism ahead of next week's 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin...

Almost a century of liberal indoctrination on Darwinian evolution, and the left has failed miserably. People still want to believe there is more to the story than blind chance.

LOL!

Did you click the link and read Richard Dawkins reaction? LOL

I guess the limeys are dumber than I thought.

I was an early doubter of Darwins evolutionary beliefs (high school), and it was Darwin’s actual words in his writings that got me going to there.

All the latest and greatest ‘missing link hominids’ they trotted out only to withdraw them only sealed the deal for me.

Bush’s fault.

Either that, or they are much, much smarter than you thought.

BTW, did you manage to catch what the scientific evidence has (finally!) forced the Evos to give Darwin for his birthday? LOL

Another poll to add to the list.

There’ll be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth over this one.

More than half of the public believe

Throw a rock. Hit an opinionated moron.

"I guess the limeys are dumber than I thought"

They're smart enough to see the complete statistical impossibility of evolution, and accidental life from nothing. - On the other hand, some were stupid enough to buy into evolution, so maybe you're right.

[metmom]

Good article.

[GodGunsGuts]

Truly, all creation sings of God’s majesty. Unfortunately, a great many of our fellow human beings are tone-deaf.

==Throw a rock. Hit an opinionated moron.

I did notice that they quoted Richard Dawkins.

Richard Dawkins is already leading the choir. All those bus signs for nothing. LOL

Are you surprised that a scientific theory undergoes change in 150 years? I'm not. If you want to believe that the invisible man in the sky wished existence into being, that's fine with me. Just don't call it science.

Paul Woolley, the director of Theos said: "Darwin is being used by certain atheists today to promote their cause.

"The result is that, given the false choice of evolution or God, people are rejecting evolution."

[stormer]

The Theory of Evolution does not address biogenesis (but I suspect you have been told the) and perhaps you can provide your statistical proof (remember to show your work).

This is exactly why evolutionists are so crazy about evolution. All they want is something that can be used as an alternative to God. They could care less whether they have proven it, or even if it is a sound theory. They just want God out of science at whatever cost.

Prof Dawkins expressed dismay at the findings of the ComRes survey, of 2,060 adults, which he claimed were confirmation that much of the population is "pig-ignorant" about science.

This guy is a joke. If I had a kid at his school I'd be tempted to yank him out of there. The guy is obviously an atheist that hates the very idea of God. I wouldn't give a nickel to hear his bloated, bias, unscientific opinion about evolution.

Had some nut job mathematician (150 years ago) claimed that he discovered a new number and the proof would be forthcoming directly, then produced no such evidence, d’ya suppose the “scientific community” might be getting a little impatient by now?
