Just how would anyone know who got to heaven and who hasn't? do you claim to know or are you just guessing?Not better educated. A high school drop out who learns to serve the Lord and goes to Heaven had a better education than a professor with 5 degrees who teaches that the Bible is a book of myths and subsequently goes to Hell. He learned the things which matter.
From what I have read about Consol he/she was never religious, or does he/she do as a lot of people do here, simply tell lies.We know the one of whom you speak. We call him Con-sol.
It was a lie, of course. That same poster makes that same claim repeatedly under different account names. We know him as Consol, but he's used dozens of names. It's always the same lie; "I was a Christian and a creationist but when I saw none of it made sense I became an atheist."
If you missed the thread, he's about due to repeat it again under a new account.
Jesus didn't.Hence why, as a christian, I view creationism as a threat to the faith.
There IS a correlation between the number of times a person is exposed to something and their acceptance of what is being taught. Since evolution is being crammed down our throats in academia on a daily basis, the longer one remains is school the more likely they are to agree with what is being taught; especially if they don't have a strong spiritual background.
"Despite overwhelming scientific consensus, popular opinions regarding evolution are starkly divided. In the USA, for example, nearly one in three adults espouse a literal and recent divine creation account of human origins. Plausibly, resistance to scientific conclusions regarding the origins of species—like much resistance to other scientific conclusions (Bloom & Weisberg, 2007)—gains support from reliably developing intuitions. Intuitions about essentialism, teleology, agency, and order may combine to make creationism potentially more cognitively attractive than evolutionary concepts. However, dual process approaches to cognition recognize that people can often analytically override their intuitions. Two large studies (total N = 1324) found consistent evidence that a tendency to engage analytic thinking predicted endorsement of evolution, even controlling for relevant demographic, attitudinal, and religious variables. Meanwhile, exposure to religion predicted reduced endorsement of evolution. Cognitive style is one factor among many affecting opinions on the origin of species."
Yes, better educated.
No, that's obviously absurd. Education is not measured by one's disposition in the afterlife. Education is measured by... one's education.
That is why a significant proportion of highly educated people agree with creation.
Even it is a smaller population in the statistics, it demands a serious explanation.
Thanks for the link. I read through it and especially the abstract and coda. I don't think the study significantly disagrees with my earlier statement:While you were all arguing, I contacted the author and got the full study.
Actually, going beyond morphology into, say, genetics, provides the strongest support for evolution. That is, stronger than the fossil record and homologous traits combined.If an ape stood side by side with a human, very few will admit that human evolved from ape.
if an ape skeleton is laid side by side with a human skeleton, most observers will agree that human could be evolved from ape.
The former does not need a study.
The later need a study to display.
This explains everything about your statistics.
But, it is hard to say which one is right.
If one thinks one step further than the morphology, more people would doubt the evolution model. That is why a significant proportion of highly educated people agree with creation. Even it is a smaller population in the statistics, it demands a serious explanation. Otherwise, your model would be rendered into a meaningless one.
