You should have just said so.

(I'm not sure what gay marriage has to do with Biblical belief of creation - but I've given up trying to understand your logic)

You're dumber than I thought if you don't see a connection to acceptance of homosexual lifestyle and Biblical literalism.

I don't see why giving us another of your strange beliefs will distract anyone from the fact that you haven't provided any (i.e. zilch, zero, nada) updated evidence that fewer (significantly or otherwise) of your fellow American believers now believe man evolved from lower life forms (like the Quran says) rather than being created in current form some 10s of thousand years ago.

As I stated in the first post - this thread is to provide evidence to disprove your 'belief' that most US christians are rational and believe in evolution.

Your belief does not match the available evidence.

I'm not surprised - such as it always was with your quaint beliefs.

Should you find evidence to back up your belief, please post it here.

In 2005 over half, 53% believed that 'God created man exactly how the Bible describes it'.


This earlier set of results shows that the US had the lowest percentage of people believing in evolution in the survey:

However, perhaps 'eh' has some more recent stats that show how many of these Americans have now learnt to believe science rather than taking the Bible literally. I look forward to the updated stats.

Over to you eh.

I'm still waiting for some updated stats.

It is interesting to note you've come up with an article on the relative levels of rejection of science in Muslim nations - but you seem to avoiding the stats for your own US believers. Why is that?

You're not embarrassed that you've been found out again - because this thread was started after you made a claim that Christians were more rational than Muslims when it came to accepting scientific facts.

All Mouth, No trousers?
