Here is a recent article that I found on the internet that I found interesting. WOULD anyone like to comment on this one?.....
Here's the article (I cited it below by the way):
A new poll released just in time for Charles Darwin's 200th birthday found that only 39 percent of Americans say they "believe in the theory of evolution," and just 24 percent of those who attend church weekly believe in that explanation for the development of life on Earth.
The Gallup Survey, released Wednesday, found a quarter of those polled do not believe in evolution, and 36 percent said they don't have an opinion either way.
Another survey by the Pew Research Center got similar results.
The Gallup poll of 1,018 American adults found strong ties between education level and belief in the theory of evolution.
"Among those with high-school educations or less who have an opinion on Darwin's theory, more say they do not believe in evolution than say they believe in it," Gallup found. "For all other groups, and in particular those who have at least a college degree, belief is significantly higher than nonbelief."
Just 21 percent of respondents who had up to a high school level of education believe in evolution, compared with 74 percent of those with postgraduate degrees.
Frank Newport, Gallup's editor-in-chief, wrote that attitudes were shaped to an even greater degree by religion.
"Previous Gallup research shows that the rate of church attendance is fairly constant across educational groups, suggesting that this relationship is not owing to an underlying educational difference but instead reflects a direct influence of religious beliefs on belief in evolution," he said.
Among weekly churchgoers, only 24 percent said they believe in evolution, while 41 percent do not and 35 percent have no opinion.
Inversely, 55 percent of those who seldom or never attend church expressed belief in evolution, while 11 percent do not, and 34 percent have no opinion.

WHAT DO YOU THINK AND WHY DO YOU THINK THAT WAY?

Well, the first comment I want to make only has an indirect correlation to evolution: There isn't a more hellish environment on earth than on the campus of universities. Please, noboby take offense if you're one of those types who believes everything rises and falls on education, but the truth of what I see daily is best described like this: The more educated, the more Godless. This study agrees with that assertion. As someone who leads a small group of people who vary in education levels from standard high school diploma to masters degrees, when I denounce evolution you can visibly see unhappy body language cues from the more "educationally affluent" folks. So, I say all that to say, whatever your "opinion" is of college, the one sure thing is that it's the devil's workshop.
To avoid 50 pages of writing, let me just sum a whole bunch of stuff up in a few sentences. Evolution is not a fact, it's not even a "theory", it's a religion--bottom line. There has never been so much as one single shred of evidence produced to prove evolution, yet we teach it in schools??? You don't say! But I thought we couldn't combine religion and education? Dr. Kent Hovind is a creation scientist who owns and operates the "Creation Science Institute" in Pensacola, FL. His organization has a standing offer of $500,000 (with backing) for proof of evolution, but it has never been claimed. Visit www.drdino.com for more details. Evolution wholly undermines the foundation of Christianity. If creation isn't true, then neither is God, Jesus, or your salvation. So, if you are a "Christian" who also believes in evolution (as some 25% stated above do), you are not only not a Christian, but you are engaging in blashphemy. God himself said clearly he created all you see in 6 literal days by speaking it into existence. If this isn't true, throw your Bible in the trash and go live like hell. Why not? Whoa I wanna go deeper, but what more needs to be said? If someone wants some proof for creation, just reply with your rebuttal and I'll answer any questions.
Held back there a little bit did you?....
