"I don't suppose you have references to back that up?"

You would be, as usual, incorrect.

Belief system Creationist view Theistic evolution Naturalistic Evolution
Group of adults God created man pretty much in his present form at one time within the last 10,000 years. Man has developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process, including man's creation. Man has developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life. God had no part in this process.
Everyone 44% 39% 10%
Scientists 5% 40% 55%

Of those that accept evolution, 4 to 1 say that God had a hand in directing it. Most people in the USA who are not atheists are Christian, and it isn't even close.

"Polling data from the 2001 ARIS study, described below, indicate that: bullet 81% of American adults identify themselves with a specific religion: bullet 76.5% (159 million) of Americans identify themselves as Christian."

It follows logically that of those that accept evolution, a majority (most) HAVE to be Christian.

It follows that the vast majority of atheists believe in evolution.

Big difference between calling oneself *Christian* (because you're not Jewish, muslim, or somthing else and you go to church twice a year for the *biggies*-Christmas and Easter) and accepting Christ as their Savior.

It follows logically that of those that accept evolution, a majority (most) HAVE to be Christian.

It follows logically? That's not facts, that's deduction.

44+39+10=93 Hmmmm. What happened to the other 7%? If the percentages are for the study sample, someone goofed.
