I thought this should be educational for all.
This grew from questions I had after reading a post that seemed to pit "believing in evolution" against "Christian" and "God." Specifically, I wondered how many people believe in both God and evolution.
I haven't tried to push a particular viewpoint in this article, just objectively report what I found out about how many Americans take a particular viewpoint. But feel free to flame away regardless.

It would be interesting to do a poll of FReepers if that were possible.

Your domain.
Still think that science shouldnt be a popularity contest, or Obama would be the king of Science.

I think the last graph
% of Christians Who Believe in Evolution, to be quite revealing.

Was Last Thursdayism mentioned?

I believe it takes more faith to believe in Evolution then it does in Creationism.

Perhaps you just left this data out of your 'survey' on purpose?

Could we say that if one does not believe that God could have (or did) created the heavens and earth in 6 days that someday they will be granted the opportunity to tell Him that.
To: john in springfield
Common sense says to believe that all peoples on this earth today come from only two people is a form of evolution.
That means that the ‘speed’ in which evolution takes place is the argument not that evolution does not take place. No where is it Written that God loaded up the DNA to produce out of two human beings all His children.

Another one for you to digest!

Evolution wins out over creationism in every age group but and the trend is not going your way.
To: Marie2
I agree. I tend to think we would see a lot more belief in God than the general public.
As far as YEC, I’m not sure. There are cross-dynamics at work. The conservatism of FReepers would end to boost the YEC numbers, but I think we have a lot of well-educated FReepers, which might cause the stats to flow in the opposite direction. I really don’t know where it would all come out in the end.

But of course ‘postgraduate’ ranks the highest in slow process evolution..... The majority of them also supposedly voted for the BamaKennedy wrecking crew. How's that BamaKennedy ‘scientific methodology’ working out?

Still think that science shouldnt be a popularity contest, or Obama would be the king of Science.By the way, I agree that science isn't a popularity contest.
Science is about truth, and truth may or may not be popular. As often as not, it isn't.
I still thought that finding some measure of people's beliefs would be interesting and educational.

I believe it takes more faith to believe in Evolution then it does in Creationism. There is no doubt in my mind that God created everything for a purpose. Just because I don't understand His plan, doesn't invalidate it.
