In U.S., 42% Believe Creationist View of Human Origins

I'll believe you when you actually do end it -- a lot of posters threaten to walk off in a huff, but they always come back.

Maybe they will threaten to hold their breath the next time.

Ending a conversation with one person doesn't mean I leaving the forum or thread for that matter! But you can't figure out something basic like that ... how could understand what life is all about?

meaning you've been storming off and then coming back for years.

Again, ended it with him once before, not the topic, nor the forum. There that's twice ... capisce?

 

[Ronald]

Then present some evidence instead of surrendering to me.

OK, OK, OK ... one more piece of evidence just for you!

Can you explain this theory of extinction?

Extinction is not a theory it is an event. "The Holocene extinction, otherwise referred to as the Sixth extinction or Anthropocene extinction, is a name for the ongoing extinction event of species during the present Holocene epoch (11,700 years before AD 2000) mainly due to human activity. " Wiki

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction

I do not use the Nano Diamond Comet as a cause only as a marker. Perhaps this is the theory you are referring to.

The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, also known as the Clovis comet hypothesis, is one of the competing scientific explanations for the onset of the Younger Dryas cold period after the last glacial period. The hypothesis, which scientists continue to debate, proposes that the climate of that time was cooled by the impact or air burst of one or more comets

Thems the breaks.

That is just the way evolution works. You have an extinction event when only 10% of the worlds populations survive. That is followed by a population explosion or radiation and the earth starts all over yet again. Right now we are in the sixth extinction.

You said extinction was a theory.

"More than four in 10 Americans continue to believe that God created humans in their present form 10,000 years ago, a view that has changed little over the past three decades. Half of Americans believe humans evolved, with the majority of these saying God guided the evolutionary process."

Looks like 58% need a lesson in faith.

For the record, we call that a "sign of the times."

The numbers are lower in England:

Half of British adults do not believe in evolution, with at least 22% preferring the theories of creationism or intelligent design to explain how the world came about, according to a survey.

The poll found that 25% of Britons believe Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is "definitely true", with another quarter saying it is "probably true". Half of the 2,060 people questioned were either strongly opposed to the theory or confused about it. Half of Britons do not believe in evolution, survey finds
​

If the numbers hold true to England as a whole those who believe in Darwinism are 25% as opposed to 19% in the United States. We should bear in mind that Jesus encouraged persistence:

I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8)​

The immediate context is the parable of the persistent widow who continued to insist on justice from a judge that feared neither God nor man. The next parable warns against being judgmental, it's an interesting contrast. In the cradle of the Great Awakening, that great Christian revival around the time of the American Revolution, is also the cradle of Darwinism. This is a controversy with deep contrasts but I'm encouraged. With virtually all of the scientific community and most of the academics dead set against creationism and intelligent design Christian conviction regarding God's miraculous creation still endures.

Grace and peace,

You have got your facts mixed up somewhere, most British people do not give evolution a second thought and they most certainly do not think creationism is something to be believed, only people with an agenda talk about evolution, why else would anyone talk about it? it is after all a fact.

Sure, evolution as a phenomenon in nature, no one argues about that. It's when it spans all of time and rejects God as cause across all of history that it gets to be unbelievable. Evolution is the change of alleles in populations over time, Darwinism is the a priori assumption of universal common ancestry by exclusively naturalistic means. Don't equivocate the two.

It's safe to say that statistics vary:

The "evolutionist" view was most popular in Sweden (68%), Germany (65%), and China (64%), with the United States ranking 18th (28%), between Mexico (34%) and Russia (26%); the "creationist" view was most popular in Saudi Arabia (75%), Turkey (60%), and Indonesia (57%), with the United States ranking 6th (40%), between Brazil (47%) and Russia (34%).

The concept that God is Creator has not vanished, it just rolls with the tide.

Yes but only in backward countries or areas of modern countries, there will always be people who are left behind in every country.

What does the Rapture have to do with it?

Backward? When someone hold to old beliefs and fashions it's tradition. If it happens to be something you think is beneath you then I guess they must be backwards. The overall statistics indicate not everyone sold out to Darwinian naturalistic assumptions.

A new poll conducted by Ipsos for Reuters News in twenty-four countries found that 41% of respondents identified themselves as "evolutionists" and 28% as "creationists," with 31% indicating that they "simply don't know what to believe," according to a press release issued by Ipsos on April 25, 2011. (Ipsos for Reuters News)
​

Unless you have the ability to read minds on a massive scale you don't really know what people believe. Anonymous surveys can be enlightening for that reason. The fact that scientists and academics can be condescending and nasty, doesn't mean people simply held up there hands and said, thank you big brother for convincing me God had nothing to do with the origin of life.

Have a nice day

People who accept evolution would never in a million years refer to themselves as "evolutionists" that's a word made up by creationists who make their living being creationists, the professional creationists who rely on creationists never questioning what they are told.

Creationism is a fools paradise.

And what is my religion?

Don't you know? I think you are one of those people who go with whatever is convenient at the time, I think the only rules you follow are the rules you make up as you go along, from what I have read here you are a cherry picker who was designed by a master cherry picker at a cherry picking festival.
