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.
I think all of the world's Christians agree with the opinions expressed on this website.
The only way this could possibly be true is by stipulating that every Christian agrees with at least one opinion found on this message board. There are enough regular members here, and enough diversity, that such a claim would be uncontroversial.
Unfortunately, that's not consistent with the claim you so desperately want to be true.

Um, you do realize that me and a lot of people simply haven't bothered to check it in our profile? And secondly science is NOT a democracy. Neither is theology. If religion was a democracy then christianity wouldn't exist, and we'd probably still be worshipping Zeus. If science was a democracy we'd have a geocentric model. Great news, prevailing opinion means jack. Prevailing opinion on a website means less.

You might think that, but this website has a disproportionate membership.
Quick check: What percentage of our members are Catholics? If it's under 50% of the Christian users, our membership is very non-representative.
We have a very disproportionate number of Americans, and within that, a disproportionate number of evangelical protestants.

And since Christian Americans, especially non catholic christian americans, are more likely to be creationists than anywhere else in the world, that might explain the odd results.
Most people who come to this site are likely to be fundamentalist christians, because they are the kind of people likely to have a great desire to go on a forum about it. (Not to imply liberal Christians done care about their religion, just that I imagine liberal Christians don't feel the need to talk about Christianity as much as 'fundies' do.)

"Teaching the pagan religion of evolutionism is a waste of valuable class time and textbook space. It is also one of the reasons American kids don't test as well in science as kids in other parts of the world."

Man, sometimes I don't even agree with my own opinion on this web site!

To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score of years and to take rank, not as a prophet, but as an unteachable brat, well birched and none the wiser.

Only in a society where the general population is USED to being decieved - whether by advertising, politicians, religions etc... can this sort of distortion survive. In most countries, people aren't used to joining ONE political faction and supporting ALL that that faction stands for. Most countries have multiple parties - that stand for multiple different ideas. America has simply been reduced to an "all or nothing" mentality where either it's true or it's a lie. You're on MY side or you're on THEIRS. It's a much simpler, and so much less useful worldview. The great advances brought about by the United States' constitution and government system have become bogged down - it remains to be seen where it will lead.
Good post.
