“38% of Americans accept the Theory of Evolution, and only 14% strongly agree, according to several surveys, RFEngineer. 30% of Republicans accept it.”
You said “macroevolution”, not Theory of Evolution. I want to see the poll where Americans are polled using the term “macroevolution”.
I think it would go something like this “Do you want to burn in hell for all eternity, or do you deny macroevolution?”
“A cursory search via your favorite search engine will show numbers to this effect. I prefer Dogpile, but you no doubt prefer Google. Go for it.”
I’m sure this is a very clever, somehow. forgive me if I’m simply not getting it.
“But, back to the various survey results, this is after nearly 100% exposure, mandatory exposure, for those attending public schools.”
Well, most schools do teach science.
“I’d say that’s rather impressive. Unless, that is, you give more credence to Southern Baptists and their survey, than to National Geographic, etcetera. Or, unless you believe this 88% rejected Christianity entirely, and became atheist, dogmatic ToE adherents.”
Oh, I’m getting it now....Google, Nat’l Geographic..... Of course, I didn’t comment on that, so your wit, such as it is, falls short a bit.
As for 88% - I believe the statement was Evangelical Christianity was rejected, not Christianity in general. I didn’t even comment on that, but if you asked, I would.
Macroevolution is where science veers head-on into theology, RFEngineer. If you want to be specific as to polling language, I honestly do not know if there has ever been any poll done to that effect. But, you know as well as I, that this is where the conflict arises. Ergo, this is the source of opposition, as identified via the polling cited by multiple sources.
