A CBS poll released this week shows that the majority of Americans still believe in creation. You can see the poll results here:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/22/opinion/polls/main657083.shtml

Basically the poll shows that 55% of all Americans believe that God created humans in their present form, 27% believe that humans evolved but that God guided the process, and only 13% believe that humans evolved and God had nothing to do with it. I think it’s pretty amazing that even after decades of indoctrination in evolutionary propaganda in the public schools, in the universities, and in the media outlets like PBS, The Discovery Channel and National Geographic, the majority of the general public still holds to God’s direct creation of man. Just think of all the millions upon millions of dollars that evolutionists have spent trying to cram their theory into our brains. The results of all their hard labor have certainly been less than spectacular. It looks like most people still inherently realize that life is far too complex to have evolved by chance.

I think this may give us some insight into why evolutionists totally freak out when a school board like the one in Cobb County in Georgia decides to put a disclaimer in the front of biology textbooks stating that evolution is a theory and not a fact. The evolutionary leaders seem to be afraid that a 20-cent sticker will undo all the millions they have spent trying to convince school kids to believe in evolution. In their minds they seem to feel that evolution must have a complete and total monopoly on the minds of children and young adults in the classroom. That appears to be the only way they can convince people that evolution is actually true. Whenever a school board tries to introduce a competing viewpoint, the evolutionists undergo a collective anxiety attack - “Oh no, kids aren’t going to believe in evolution anymore. We cannot allow anyone to doubt our precious theoryâ€Â. You’d think that if evolutionists actually had real confidence in their theory they wouldn’t mind a little competition in the classroom. If the evidence for evolution really was overwhelming as evolutionists claim it is, then their theory should still come through with flying colors even after competing viewpoints were examined. But evolutionists don’t appear to have that confidence.

Personally, I think their anxiety in justified. After all, in the century and a half since Darwin published his theory they’ve only managed to convince 13% of the populous that humans can evolve without a Creator. What a laugh.

The theory of evolution really does fail to convince.
 
I wonder if in that 13% percent involves people who may beleive in God, just not as the creator...

Anyway, still pretty impressive....in total 82% still beleive in God as the creator....I guess years of 'evolution only' in public schools didn't work that well.....

Not surprising, considering they elected bush again.

Most polls show that about 45% of people think God created humans as they are about 10,000 years ago.

About 37 percent think man evolved with God involved.
About 12 percent think man evolved with God not involved.

About 6 percent had no opinion.

We do a very poor job of teaching evolution in the public schools. University graduates who actually learn about it, are much more likely to accept evolution. We have a lot of work to do in science education, and not just in evolution.

We are mediocre at best as a nation in science education, although there are states in the upper midwest that rank among the best in the world at science.

On the other hand, there's the southeast, where school districts often rank with third world countries.

And it's hurting us.
 
Believing

Believing in something doesn't make it true. What is evident is the sad state of eduction in the sciences that now exist in the US. Anyone that has been properly taught as to the evidence and how that evidence has been gathered regarding evolution walks away with a firm conviction of its reality in mans progression.Since when does hard evidence take a backseat to an invisible , unprovable entity while at the same time takes the liberty to assume that man knows the "thoughts and intentions" of this as yet invisible unproved entity. At best this teaching should be left to classes that teach mythology. After all these classes readily admit that even though Zeus etc are mythical their foundations may have originated with earthly phenomena.It certainly does not belong in a science class that bases its convictions on provable evidence.
