atheist,
and
that just doesn't fit reality. If I remember correctly,
about
40%
of
the US population accepts evolution without any divine
interference.
Yet only about 10% of the US population is atheist.
How,
then,
can
evolution be construed as a primarily atheist position?
The
following
link provides a link to organizations, including
religious
organizations, that have publicly stated their support
for
evolution.

Clarkie: You did not address what percentage of atheists
are
also
evolutionists.
I suspect that the percentage is very high.
Tom: Of course it is, what would you expect? The issue is
that
there
are
many Christians who also know that evolution has occurred.

Clarkie: Yes, they "know" that evolution has occurred because
they
are
eyewitnesses to complete evolution processes which take
millions
of
years, right?
Tom: Red herring. The question was dealing with how many
Christians
believed
that evolution had occurred. Your disingenuous question is
answered
by
stating that no, you ignorant *****, they observed the scientific
evidence
for
evolution.
Clarkie: Since you pressed the issue, I believe that your assertion
that
there are many Christians who know that evolution his occurred is
conjecture.
Tom: You do? Well glory be. Do you ever read the newspaper or watch
the
news
on TV or read a magazine? You really like that word conjecture,
don't
you?
It rather implies that it is a wild ***** guess and since your agenda
is
to
attempt to marginalize evolution and atheists you use it every
chance
you
get, dontcha' big boy? I am afraid that conjecture isn't an
appropriate
word
in this instance.
Five Gallup polls between 1982 and 1999 show that in various polls
the
percentage of people who hold the belief that man has developed over
???????????
???????????
millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided
this
process, including man's creation ranges from 35 to 40 percent.

Clarkie: What makes you think that Gallop polls are somehow able to
filter
out
conjectural responses? Indeed, you changed your assertion from
christians *knowing* (previous post) to christians *holding the
belief*.
Tom: From their past record.
Most mainline protestant churches have no problem with evolution(
excluding
the Southern Baptists of course). The Pope says that the evidence is
strong
for evolution. Of course I guess that an all knowing ***** like
yourself
will
just say that these millions of people are not "true" Christians.
Clarkie: You're changing the scope of the subject!
Tom: *****! Here is the topic of immediate discussion as instigated
by
you:
Clarkie:Since you pressed the issue, I believe that your assertion
that
there are many Christians who know that evolution his occurred is
conjecture.
Clarkie: I've been discussing
evolution with respect to the origin of the mind of modern man, not
biological evolution in general. Also, I can accept some degree of
evolution as a possibility. But I don't accept the totality of
evolution as many atheists/evolutionists do.
Tom: See you above post to learn what you are supposed to discuss in
this
part of the thread! Hey Clarkie, I really don't give a flying flip whet
you
discuss but when you introduce a topic then deny it, I think that is
pretty
chicken-*****, don't you?
I noted that you (or someone) pressed a tangent issue.
Tom: Gee whiz, where did you learn to read????? You challenged a statement
that I made, I replied and then you went to this "I'm not discussing that"
mode. Why don't you try being honest for a change.
