Which in your opinion brings more joy to the world?
A belief in creationism or a knowledge of evolution?

Evolution leads to advances in medicine. It helps us understand why bacteria become resistant to antibiotics and helps of to overcome them.
It also ticks off really religious people, so that's fun too.

This brings more joy to the world than anything:

Evolution. Learning new things is fun.

Whereas Creationism has made not a single contribution to the body of scientific knowledge in the past 150 years.

Evolution makes sense out of human behavior and explains why we behave one way rather than another. (Read: Sperm Wars, The Red Queen, and The Selfish Gene).

Creation will only predict things "as they are." It makes no attempt to explain anything.

I voted 'a belief in creationism.'

Please keep in mind: there is joy, then there is full-joy.

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

{knowledge of} Evolution leads to advances in medicine.

The thread basically ended here. No opinions can trump this fact.

I didn't know the world could experience Joy.
I knew people could, but the planet?

Well at least you talked about joy, unlike previous responders.

I might even vote for a belief in creationism, as the believers are often happy because of their belief. Knowledge and joy are very different things.

Evolution or creationism? I vote for "none of the above".
