Politically, is Evolution or Creationism winning?

Politically, evolution is winning, despite the fact that we have a freakin crazy religious Republican party (don't get me wrong, the freakin crazy atheist wing of the Democratic party is no better). "Intelligent design" is not whats being taught in schools... science classes are meant to teach science, not pseudo-religious nonsense.\n\nI was never taught "intelligent design" or "creationism" in my science classes in Texas and Louisiana, two of the most conservative places in the country, so I'd say evolution is winning politically.

Creationists are freaks-99% of biologists believe evolution is a fact which reduces a creationist who disagrees with evolution to the intellectual level of plankton.

Once people believe in something it's hard to "set it aside"  I am a scientist by nature so evoluton would be hard not to believe in for me.  I think in this case school is required to teach evolution, but you can teach creationism in church and at home.

I think the fossil record is the most convincing evidence we have for evolution.  Granted, it does have a few holes, but the holes aren't nearly as large as the holes in the Bible.  \n\nAnd as far as the comment made by Stand goes - evolution is such a slow process.  Just because we don't see evolution occurring, doesn't mean it's not going on behind the scenes.  I have heard some arguments that evolution of humans has stopped because we don't have the environmental pressures we used to - we use technology to ensure that "everyone" survives.  This is somewhat ludicrous, however, because this theory comes from the point of view of a person living in a first world country.  What about the billions living in third world countries?  Do they have the advantages of technology?  Also, what about the other forms of selection, such as sexual selection?  Truth be told, there are approximately 4.2 "important" amino acid mutations per generation, and since the technical definition of evolution is 'the change in the gene pool of a population over time', we are definitely still evolving - just not in visible ways.  Yet.

creation or evolution?

I TOTALLy agree with you in that the two concepts are mutually exclusive.  A belief in God (as depicted in the Bible) has ABSOLUTELY NO ROOM for macroevolution.  Similarly, a belief in macroevolution has NO PLACE for God.  \n\nSome individuals try to merge the two, saying that God used macroevolution as THE CREATION MACHINERY. That's like Jews or Muslims saying Jesus was a good man, a great teacher but not the Messiah. THERE'S NO MIDDLE GROUND.  GOD OR EVOLUTION? MESSIAH OR MADMAN?  The choice is yours.\n\nIncidentally, macroevolution has never been proven, either.  BOTH must be accepted on FAITH!!!!

I don't see how you can think that the intelligent design theory states that God designed people to evolve. If anything, it says the opposite. If anything, intelligent design is creationism cloaked in scientific terminology, and to say the least, it's faulty science! Proponents of creationism and intelligent design basically try to use science to back up their preconceived notions, and to say the least, this is irresponsible and not conducive to uncovering the truth. And not only that, but despite what many would like to believe, there IS evidence that Darwin's theory is correct. After all, there are more genetic similarities between humans and chimpanzees than there are between Asian and African elephants. And not only that, but a fossil of a long-extinct fish was discovered some time ago, and it was shown that its fins were in the process of evolving into limbs. Plus, the fossil of a dog-like creature that eventually evolved into the whale has been found. The evidence is everywhere!

It does not matter what I believe. The theory of evolution by natural selection is overwhelmingly supported by fact and argument. Intelligent Design is not supported by any facts that I know of and the argument seems to be basically, " a argument from ignorance ".

evolution is just mans way of trying to understand how life got here and is how it is. Its a theory and not a proven fact. People just refuse to believe a higher power created them.\nI believe in breeding and that's it. God created basic life on the planet and then through breeding of those animals we got several different species in one classification of such.

Fine. I'll level with you.\n\nI believe evolution is possible. I think that certain organisms have developed over time to better their "fitness" (if you will). However, I am a Creationist and believe that God created the Earth and the creatures on it. Sorry if I find it hard to believe that a blob evolved into the life on the planet today.

I was taught both - with the emphasis on Creationism....\n\nThank God I attended university afterwards and shrugged off the mind virus....

Creation THROUGH Evolution.  Both are correct in their own ways.  Believing in one does not exclude the other.

Mother Christian. Father athiest.  They argued a lot over Adam and Eve VS Evolution.  My dad would win the arguments just because he was smarter.  I started out as an evolutionist, but I studied both sides of the issues and came to my own conclusion including evolution and scientific creationism.  I can argue with any evolutionist and either win or hold my ground now.  Never did have the discussion with my dad though because he left when I was 9.  He recently converted to Christianity and expects me to forget the abandonment.  I can't bring myself to act like nothing happened.\nSo did you have something you wanted to know? or just a poll?  You can email if there's something else you're after.

Evolution is a theory. It is what science is all about. Religion and Science can go hand in hand. I believe the biblical creation story of 7 days to God is actually like a million years to us!! god gave man intellect to study the creators creation therefore study God's marvelous works. peace.

Yes you are correct-and most people think that ID is a christian plan to get creation in the public schools. Its really funny that ID is a scientific theory and most evolutionist scoff at it. The leaders have ran off and left the followers.

When you consider both naturalistic and theistic evolution, about 50% (49%) believe in evolution, based on Gallup polls in 1991 and 1997.  The numbers can vary with the structure of the questions and the way you slice the data.

There will be some ignorant evolutionists here that will give you crap answers about this true statement, keep it up brother. \n\nCreationist 10 - 0 Evolutionists
