Ok...here we go. A liberal polling group has done this, and they have come up with 64% of the people.

Now what do all those evo scientists have to say about "governing of the people, by the people and for the people"?

Probably that they know better than the people at PEW and the comman man too!

I don't think the validity of scientific theories should be decided by majority vote of the general populace.

Probably. The American people can vote the sky green tomorrow - doesn't make it true.

We're going to put science up for a vote now?

Good! I vote to make pi 3.0. That's a lot easier to remember.

Lets vote to eliminate Mondays also.

Awww...come on!!

I thought EVERYTHING is decided by polls now.

I am thinking of doing a poll on the viability of teleportation... If I can just get people to believe it is possible, the US Patent office will grant my claims!

Me too. Half of me wants to evolve, and half of me wants to stay like I am.

I think that if they taught creationism in addition to evolution, the creationists might actually be hurt. Compare the evidence for a 6,000 year old earth versus that of evolution, despite all its flaws.

Both? Do we teach New Earth Creationism or Old Earth Creationism? Do we include Greek creation stories? How about those of the Scientologists?

another 18 percent of all those polled, said evolution was guided by a supreme being


This is the kind of muddled thought you get when you cross evolution with creation. People think both are the answer.

If a supreme being did guide it, it must be creation only without evolution...plain and simple. Genesis and Jesus Christ do not give us the option of mixing the two.

No, we should just all believe what the evolutionists tell us to believe and keep our mouths shut. What right do we have deciding what is taught in public schools?

Can't wait either...same ol'sh..tuff.

Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank"and "ind." What do these words mean? It's a mystery and that's why so is mankind.

They do this in college World Religion classes. It is hilarious when you sit through it as I did.

You must not be very well acquainted with what creationists believe. Most believe the earth is probably older than 6,000 years but then truth doesn't really matter to evos, does it? Just keep your agenda out there.
