Lmao

Where did you graduate from again?

The only thing obvious here is your complete lack of understanding of what a learning environment is supposed to be.

I graduated from a small school in VA. When I started college in TN it was almost like being back in 9th-10th grade. Several other out of state kids felt the same.

I just tuned all my science teachers out when they tried to convince me the earth was 4.5 billion years old.

Try discussing creationism in a college level scientific essay about evolution.

You did go to college.. right?

Why would religion even come up? Unless your dealing with a zealot who is offended by the thought. You can discuss the theory without interjecting religion.

Yes dear, I did. And this little tidbit jumped out as well:

Thirty-eight percent believe God guided a process by which humans developed over millions of years from less advanced life forms,

And this:

It is not surprising as a result to find that about 8 in 10 Americans hold a view of human origins that involves actions by God -- that he either created humans as depicted in the book of Genesis, or guided a process of evolution.

So in this case, is the majority in the wrong for having viewpoints that creationism is valid? Or is this your personal opinions and attack on anything religious just showing out?

I have a question related to this topic, but slightly OT. How many people actually believe in the young earth theory these days? Has there ever been a serious study or poll done?

And I'm not talking about Bart around the corner that screams about science trumping religion. I mean an actual poll taken with that specific question in mind.

I for one do not and never had but I do firmly believe in god (supream being) creating us.

Your original point was that not many people believe in young earth theory, and he posted an article that says 4 out of 10 people believe god created the world as we know it within the last ten thousand years.

No, the article said God created humans in the past 10,000 years. Stop cherry picking the numbers out of the article.

So again, has there ever been a study or survey done in people's belief in the young earth theory?

An example of discrimination

The ACLU of Pennsylvania (2007) came to the defense of a second-grade student who, in response to a class assignment to write a story, submitted a story about Easter and redemption. After the teacher rejected the submission because of its religious content, the ACLU wrote a letter to the school on the student's behalf.

If four out of ten Americans believe god created humans in the last ten thousand years, that's not any less egregious than young earth theory. We have records of humans existing hundreds of thousands of years ago.

4/10? Jesus.

So I guess I'll ask the obvious question...

Is there any factual basis from anything in the Bible? Old or New Testament, doesn't matter.

You can address this to TRUT, I'm sure he knows a lot more about the historicity of the Bible than me. :p
