I do not believe in Gallup polls!
I heard a rabbi once explain that 'man is alive as long as there is breath.' Therefore when man dies and breath is no more what is left? spirit! I believe the answer to your stated question is man survives only with the spirit within but the spirit lives within and also beyond the flesh and ceasing of breath.
And I have no problem with people being (antievolutionary) creationists, just so long as they don't try and use political means or pressure tactics to force creationist views into science classrooms that have not independently earned scientific standing on merit.
Also have decreased the amount of crevolist threads that personally read much less actually comment on. The hostility—on both sides—can do that.
I understand that, but according to comment at the end the article by the poster, I fail to be a modern man if I reject evolution?
Why would God’s children have to ‘repent?’
Ping to preceding.
In the last election, the GOP assumed that its voters were uneducated and stupid. It thought GOP voters were too stupid to care about things like billion dollar bridges to nowhere in Alaska, or about the largest increase in entitlement programs in history; GOP leaders thought that they could still count on GOP voters to vote for them if they mouthed the same empty platitudes about small government, traditional values and strong defense.
They appealed only to uneducated voters, assumed they were stupid and they lost. The GOP isn't the stupid party and we lose elections when elected leaders fool ourselves into thinking we are.
LOL! My mother used to say, "If the Lord can get up and move a rock on Easter, you can get off your tail and get some work done!"
“humans, unlike animals, are not just a body, but instead are made up of both a body and a soul”.
Almost no one considers this point in the debate.
Whatever was happening on the planet earth for however long doesn’t matter any more than what was happening ANYWHERE in the void of space ABESENT MAN AND HIS HOLY SPRIT.
We ask if a tree falling in the forest makes a sound.
The matter that comprises the earth is inert, meaningless UNTIL God is present. “Life” REQUIRES the sprit informing it or it is merely a system of matter no different than a stone or any other matter.
b) God stated that God created the universe in a particular order, at a particular date, that is at odds with the Macroevolutionary model--that, along with Macroevolution being very far from a watertight hypothesis, is why so many Christians are Creationists.
there is not one easy answer concernng this...
Sure there is “evolution” or how about “survival of the fittest”?
Hey, I avoid them, too. The evolutionists have an undeserved sense of superiority, so anyone who challenges their dogma is immediately ridiculed and heckled. It’s a miniature Inquisition.
>>The party will either go into the 21st century and win elections, or it will refuse to modernize and continue to lose. I hope party leaders have the foresight to realize that opposing modernity is a losing strategy.<<
One thing is that wise nations don’t vote on technical things.
The space shuttle had a gash but they launched anyway - you don’t vote on that sort of thing or which parts to use in a new plane or hurricane predictions etc. And voting on evolution is fine but it says more about the media and society than about science.
The problem with the government is similar to the problem with academics, a lingering feeling that we’ve put the wrong people in charge rather than a desire to make the decisions of academics or daily governance by polls.
Things are already screwed up well before a school board votes on evolution - and they would see that if suddenly there was a move to vote on alternatives to electricity theory or engineering.
Actually they probably wouldn’t see.
I have found that even among people who believe evolution's premise of species changing over time (for whatever reason) there are many who do not believe evolution alone explains life on earth and the splendor of the universe.
This particular poll seems to bear that out.

I doubt it is high. There's no correlation among conservative pundints. George Will, Charles Krauthammer, and John Derbyshire are some of the most strident pro-evolution pundints, and yet they all opposed the bill, quite vociferously, I might add. I don't know whether the patterns of Freeper opinion resemble conservative pundint opinion patterns, but barring an evidence to the contrary, I think it's a reasonable working hypothesis to believe they do.
It seems as if many ex-Freepers who are genuine scientists and those who support immigration reform have both been driven from FR.
Lots of Freepers supporting a more restrictive immigration policy and harsher treatment of illegal aliens have also been banned. In addition, FR management has prohibited the posting articles from several websites that support lower levels of immigration and stricter enforcement. People have been banned for even mentioning these websites by name.
Nonsense.
Really?
Has Evolution figured out how 'something' evolved from nothing?
Or life from non-life?
What is nonsense is the fairy tale that a single cell (which no one knows how it could come about), has 'evolved' into a human being.
And you can add any amount of zero's to the millions of years you want, it is utter nonsense.
So, to paraphrase Doyle, when you rule out the impossible, whatever is left, no matter how improbable, must be true.
Evolution is a fairy tale for adults who want to believe that they will not face their Creator at a Judgment seat (Rev.20)
