America slides backwards - Nearly 50% affirm creationism in last 10k years.

I would love to live in a fantasty world where 1000 people is a proper sample size of 300 million. Sadly I live in reality.

Then you should never ever pay attention to any scientific polls.. EVER.. Because they usually always involve sample sizes around that...

Creationists need to educate themselves.

[QUOTE="TheWalkingGhost"]Who cares? It is none of your damn business what people believe.sSubZerOo

It does when we have jackasses on the science board that don't accept peer reviewed data because their beliefs get in the way.. It is a problem when we have communities and politicians trying to stop anything that goes against their beliefs to be put in public schools like evolution.. IF you believe in this quietly, by all means go ahead and believe it.. But there is a large vocal group within there that want to steer policy based upon their beliefs regardless of what evidence that has been put forward that contradicts that.

I'm just waiting for him to respond: "I did take statistics." Which will make it even worse.

Still a leading country in scientific breakthroughs, so who gives a sh*t.

Until you science worshipping, would-be god stompers can prove for certain how the universe can explode into being from absolutely nothing, then I'll continue to believe in my magical god over your magical nothing.El_Zo1212o

To be fair, I went to a Christian College and many people there, while creationists, did not believe in the young Earth theory because that was created by some priest a couple hundred years ago. There is no mention of it anywhere in the Bible.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"] Creationists believe the Earth was created 6000 years ago and there's plenty of evidence against that...kuraimen

Well, I'll give you that.

The funny thing is that Christians who go around trying to disprove science are in conflict of the teachings of the bible.

It pretty clearly states that you are supposed to believe in god based wholly on faith, not evidence. Part of believing on god based on faith is to do so while there is a lot of contractory evidence otherwise.

So trying to prove that jesus existed or that there was noah's ark or god created the earth and everything on it as it is will get you into a perdicament when you die if god is truly who you say he is.

But most christians don't read the bible so...

This is bad. If didn't know better, I would say that the sampling size is too small, so I wouldn't have to believe it.

Who cares?

Even so, almost 500 people still believe in Creationism? :?

Understanding evolution is key to, well, medicine, biology, genes, etc so half the population not believing in it is a big fvcking deal. America is full of stupid ass people who cling to their god and superstitions. l4dak47

No it's not. It's quite possibly the stupidest thing to get your panties in a bunch over.

It is a big deal with modern medicine and the entire field of Biology rely on it. Only a fvcking moron would say it isn't a big deal. HoolaHoopMan

Right, because those who believe in creationism have such an impact on medicine and biology. ROFL. God you must be fvcking stupid.

If you teach your children creationism you're effectively denying them an entire line of work or career. That IS a big deal. Scientific illiteracy is a problem our country is facing right now. Its an embarrassment. HoolaHoopMan

No you aren't. Children make up their own minds as they grow. There are plenty of people who are not only religious, but also hold some type of scientific degree.

We're also facing problems with math and---unbelievably---english. That says more about our educational system than religion.
