    Evolution

    Gallup has been polling this for a while, and I was curious to see how your views compared.

    Edit: I'm not sure whether or not this should be moved. Evolution really should not be a political issue. However, since there have been recent laws passed allowing teachers to question evolution and global warming in their classrooms it may merit a poll in this section. If a mod feels otherwise, they can feel free to move this poll.

    All of them? None of them? Most of them? Few of them? I give up, what is your answer? LOL I guess I got here too quick, like before the link or poll appeared. ;-)

    Re: Evolution

    Humans evolved, began thinking themselves the center of the universe and fantasized up big sky parents to rationalize the unknown, quell existential dread and legitimize rulers with things like the mandate of heaven.

    Didn't vote because choice #2 too strongly intimates the existence of your god.

    D: Humans are the product of millions of years of micro and by extension macro evolution. God doesn't exist and is a fairy tale concocted by ignorant individuals.

    There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide the world that cannot be achieved more rationally through entirely secular means.

    Re: Evolution

    If a deity were guiding the process why are 99.9% of species in the planet's history no longer around, not just from human activity but several mass extinctions? Seems like he's not doing such a great job, or gets incredibly bored. Ultimately I think this a wasted controversy. It's laughable for people to think they can shield their kids from realities like this forever, but on the other hand, high school biology students aren't likely to remember or care about much that they're taught on evolution anyway.

    Re: Evolution

    I voted evolved but god had no part. I would like to add my vote to poorly worded poll. I don't know and or care if god was involved, consider me agnostic.
    better poll would have been

    Creationism
    Intelligent design
    Evolution
    I vote evolution

    Re: Evolution

    Humans evolved, but god had not part in the process. This doesn't necessarily preclude the existence of a deity, but if one does exist, I believe it to be more of the "start the ball rolling and watch things play out as they will" sort than the micromanagement sort.
    If you build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day.

    If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
