Quoting: Anonymous Coward 415581Where did they carry out this poll, in a church? I live in the UK and I don't know anybody that believes that the world was created within the last 10,000. And before you ask, I do not like Richard Dawkins either. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 605546 United States 02/01/2009 04:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "There is an old Irish joke, retold here by Richard Dawkins, about somebody in Northern Ireland who responded to a survey question about religious affiliation by declaring himself an atheist. ‘Would that be a Protestant atheist or a Catholic atheist?’ came the insistent reply. Faced with a similar inquiry, I would be obliged to declare myself a Catholic atheist. By this I mean that I am an atheist by conviction, but a Catholic by upbringing and tribal affiliation."-Richard Dawkins [link to www.spiked-online.com] Dawkins and Catholics like him will never accept a young earth as science no matter the evidence because that means accepting the Bible including Genesis. This would make them a Protestant. |

Evolution does not explain everything and it has many, many holes in the THEORY. Creationism has some valid counter arguments, but is equally flawed. What ever happened to saying "we just don't have the full picture right now?" instead of settling for fundamentalist dorks like Dawkins or some nub in the Church? |

There is tons of evidence for evolution but not one single scrap of evidence that demonstrates that the mutations are 'random' and 'blind' If anyone thinks I'm wrong then please paste the links to references that prove it |

Ok, what are some of the 'flaws' in the creation argument? You are correct about Evolutionism, it is not a genuine science and it is not based on scientific method or sound reasoning. There is no real scientific evidence to support evolution, you have to believe in it; thus, evolution is a religion! |

If you think otherwise you have never understood the theory. As for the Dawkins Video, everybody knows it is an edit and is made to look that way. Here is a hot atheist chick laying the smackdown.

Béla Bartók User ID: 744297 United States 04/18/2010 08:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is more evidence of God than there is evidence against it. However, if that's the case, there is no true evidence to many scientific thoughts. But just because there are holes in Evolution does not mean it is not true. Just like if there is no evidence that there is such a thing as a "God" does not mean it is n not real. The whole I.D V Evolution debate is pure nonsense and has nothing to do with theology or science. |

Halcyon Dayz, FCD User ID: 434868 Netherlands 04/18/2010 08:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Argumentum ad populum Dawkins is at the center of the gigantic debate in western society over whether "creation" (or "intelligent design") should be taught alongside the theory of evolution in public schools. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 415581What gigantic debate? This stuff is only taken serious in funny places like the American bible belt. ID is not science and therefor cannot be thought in biology class. Many, many scientists do not accept Dawinism... Quoting: SEADOG 601683Ever heard of Project Steve? This does not imply that I am a creationist, just that we don't understand the process. Quoting: SEADOG 601683Maybe it's just you who doesn't. I doubt darwinism to, dont doubt evolution though. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 942646Then you might be pleased to learn that only creationists use the word Darwinism. The science of biology has moved on considerably. Google Modern Synthesis That humans pretend to know anything, cracks me up. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 943322All monkeys and nuts. Well, wallow in your ignorance then.

JADR User ID: 389916 Australia 04/18/2010 08:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A new poll reveals that even in the U.K., the public seriously doubts Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and prominent atheist Richard Dawkins is seriously upset about it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 415581In the poll, over half of the respondents indicated that they believe that the theory of evolution cannot explain the full complexity of life on Earth and that a "designer" must have been involved. The poll also revealed that about one out of three citizens of the U.K. believe that God created the world within the past 10,000 years. Now keep in mind that this poll was taken in the ultra secularized U.K. Of course the results of this poll infuriated Richard Dawkins and in response he said that this poll is proof that much of the population in the U.K. is "pig-ignorant" about science. Dawkins is at the center of the gigantic debate in western society over whether "creation" (or "intelligent design") should be taught alongside the theory of evolution in public schools. But should there even be a debate? What does the scientific evidence say? After all, shouldn't the actual science be more important than what people would like to believe? Shouldn't logic, reason and hard facts trump any personal agenda that anyone is trying to push? [link to thefinalhour.blogspot.com] Anything that could upset Richard Dawkins is a good thing!!!
