ORIGINAL: ThatDizzyChick Christianity: Trying to get creationism taught in schools, creationism is not "Christian." if you start with the premise that there is a creator, then natural science can be reflective of that. otherwise, youre starting from the premise that there is no god and well, most of the world just doesn't buy that...nor that we just sprang out of the primordial soup and evolved through genetic defects over billions of years. [image]http://www.pewforum.org/files/2012/07/evolution.gif[/image] by contrast then, the remaining percentages can be attributed to "creationism" or "I don't know." you'll notice only half the US believes in evolution, and given that the majority, or close to the majority of the worlds population are Christian and muslim, a significant population of the world do not believe in evolution either. http://www.pewforum.org/2009/02/04/religious-differences-on-the-question-of-evolution/ from 2009 Pew Research in the US: 31% believe in young earth creationism, 22% believe in a combination of evolution/creation. only 32% believe in atheistic evolution. 2014 Gallup poll among regular church goers: 69% believe in a young earth creationism, and 24% in a combination. only 1% hold to evolution. 2007 gallup poll and 2005 Pew Research Center poll 68% of republicans do not believe in evolution, and 60% believe in creationism as you might imagine, the numbers are reversed on the democrats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_support_for_evolution in the US, only 20% of people think that evolution alone should be taught in schools. 16% believe only creationism should be taught. the remaining percentages are made up of some combination of having them both taught. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creationism in any event---there is nothing factual about evolution, it is a theory mingled with a very large degree of faith. [image]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b2/Truth_fish.jpg[/image] also--jesus believed in genesis and such that it can be understood in this regard, was a creationist. matthew 19:4-6, mark 10:6-9, matthew 24:37-39, and luke 17:26-27 meanwhile, i'll keep my eyes peeled for those transitional species...
