Political Discussion / Politics / Science / Creationism VS Evolution / CBS Poll on Evolution Believers

Posted:  01 Oct 2007 22:36
Interesting this 2004 poll by CBS http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/22/opinion/polls/main65708 ... says that only 13 percent believe in complete evolution, or evolution where God was not involved at all. about two-thirds of Americans want creationism taught along with evolution. About 37 percent wanted evolutionism replaced outright.

Ok so I guess you evolutionary libs are either smarter than the rest of the world, or it's not quite so cut and dry for you all's side as you'd like me to believe anyway.

To my lib buds, read it and weep boys, read it and weep.

The poll asked less than 900 people, all of which could have been inside a church for all we know.

Evolution still has nothing to do with politics.

The poll hardly speaks for all Americans, much less the world.

Last, but certainly not least, you know polls don't mean jack, right?

No, polls do have merit, random samplings though they be. This one is three years old. I'd like to see it done again.

Bottom line is we have a separation of church and state. Let them teach evolution in school, and let folks of faith teach creationism on Sundays.

What's the big deal?

Polls have negligable merit. You change the wording of the question a fraction and the results change. You ask the exact same question to varying demographics or opposing cross-sections of people and the numbers change again.

Watch this.

Here we have two scientists who give the percentages of around 48%, and then 'somewhere between 40 and 60%', who both agree that either number is too high for belief in absolute Creationism.

Sure, sure, you know it had to be, those evil Christian plotters at CBS News.

Ok then but I don't want to see any polls coming from you.

If this poll is accurate I don't think most of those folks are going to change their mind about something like that in 3 years do you?

Bottom line would be that in America the majority is supposed to rule. At least it used to before we became one nation under a supreme court. Second why should evolution be taught at all if more than half of Americans don't even believe it? That's what I got out of that poll.
