>>according to gallup poll in Feb, only 4 in 10 believe in Evolution<<
>>>If true, it is the death knell for the USA as a leader in science.
As with most “facts” thrown around in these buffoon threads, this selectively omits context to mislead the reader. It should have stood out to you that the figure given is NOT the number who accept Genesis. Easy to see why if you look at the original source:
“PRINCETON, NJ — On the eve of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, a new Gallup Poll shows that only 39% of Americans say they “believe in the theory of evolution,” while a quarter say they do not believe in the theory, and another 36% don’t have an opinion either way. These attitudes are strongly related to education and, to an even greater degree, religiosity.”

So the majority with an opinion accept the concept of evolution. The minority with an opinion tend to be uneducated, and reject it. The balance have no opinion, don’t know what either side is talking about, and don’t care. Not quite the message insinuated above.
These flat earth threads are so humiliating for FR.
I was replying to #4 who said “Strict Darwinian materialists” are an overwhelming majority in the US - not a struggling minority” which makes my reply true that >>according to gallup poll in Feb, only 4 in 10 believe in Evolution<< (6 of 10 DON’T believe in it.) “These flat earth threads are so humiliating for FR” But like a dog returns to his own vomit, you click on one to pick fights with Christians.
