"I have been waiting a very long time for editor-surveyor to produce his survey, which supports his claim that only 1 in every 10,000 Freepers believe evolution is possible."

Have you noticed that you're the only one that seems to be titilated by this?

Do you wonder why? Could it be that the rest of the gang are able to recognize when hyperbole is used in rhetoric? (consider that there are only about 70,000 reasonably active freepers to start with)

But more to the point, surveys of the general public have been done, and posted here too, and guess what? Even when the liberal dumacrats are included in the mix the evos are decidedly in the minority. And among conservatives, the surveys say over 78% don't buy the evo fantasy, so I guess you caught me, it's not 10,000:1

Well, quite frankly I would disagree with your statistics...because you see, I also read a large survey done, ,which showed three specific things...how many believed in God, how many believed in evolution and how many believed in creationism/ID

Now, by far the majority of people who responded said they believed in God...but when it came to saying whether they believed in evolution or ID/creationism, the majority was definitely a much higher percentage believing in evolution rather than in ID/creationism...its as if, all the ID/creationists think that because one says they believe in God, that they also believe in ID/creationism...this is not the truth...its the same thing as declaring that all who believe in evolution are atheists...this is also another lie..many people believe in God and also believe in evolution...and that is not hyperbole...

I did not see the survey I am talking about on the internet, but rather in the newspaper, it was from a while back....I will have to look in my garage and see if we still have that paper, and then I will report back...So your survey shows one thing, and a survey I read recently in the newspaper shows something completely different...

You may call it hyperbole, I call it trying to skew the truth...and I was not the only one responding to that...a few other posters responded to you as well about that...so you are the one that is caught, for sure...
