Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
Ok, same scenario as in the link Tinker posted in a different thread.
You have been selected to play "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?", you go in on the day, expecting to do really badly, but nevertheless you play an amazing game, you're down to the last question.
You've got one lifeline remaining, 50/50.
The question comes up on the screen and Chris Tarrant reads it out.
"Which of the following is responsible for the diversity of life?"
A) Homer Simpson's burp.
B) Evolution.
C) Stargate SG1.
D) Intelligent design.
Having no reason to hold onto it, you use 50/50, and the answers are reduced to:
B) Evolution.
D) Intelligent design.
Creationists, with a potential 1 million on the line, which answer do you pick?
You'll commit yourself to creationism when there's nothing at stake, but when £1,000,000 (Or $1,000,000 in your case.) hangs in the balance, you'll claim that Darwin got it right with evolution.

No --- I said I'll pick what Charles Darwin would pick.
No --- I said I'll pick what Charles Darwin would pick.
Sorry, you don't get off that easy.
Answer the question please.

I would say, "Well, let's go with what Charles Darwin would pick: B --- evolution --- final answer."

Unless a wad of ca$h is on the line however?

Why else would you pick what you "know" to be the wrong answer, because of what Darwin would pick, and not what your interpretation of God would pick?

Guys, I really don't get your point. AVET said he would pick the expected answer to win the money. That does not prove that the expected answer is either wrong or right.

If it were 'wrong,' and proved to be so in a court of law, then he would win a settlement.
He picked the answer he knows deep down to be true, now he's backpedaling.
