*IF YOU HAVE NOT YET VOTED PLEASE DO SO, IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME*
Ok, here's the deal. You answer the poll, that is all.
For the purposes of this poll, voting for creation means you believe in some sort of divine creation of the earth as it is now or similar. As in God had a direct hand creating the earth and it's inhabitants and although evolution may play a part in your version of creation, it is only "microevolution" and was not the mechanism that caused the variety of life on earth. If you believe in a young earth, a worldwide flood, or hyper evolution, vote creation.
Voting for evolution means that you believe that the variety of life today was a result of evolution over a long span of time. This can either be theistic evolution, or atheistic evolution, whether God had a guiding hand in it or not is irrelevant. If you believe that God created or "jumpstarted" simple life, but used evolution to sculpt the plethora of life today, vote evolution. Do not vote evolution if you do not believe this took millions of years.
Posting is strongly discouraged and should be limited to questions specifically related to the poll (for example, what category you fit into if you are unsure because of certain beliefs) or just bumping the thread after a vote (we do want to try and keep this visible to get a strong sample).
If you really can't make up your mind, check unsure.
If you absolutely must post the reasons for your opinion then fine, but please, and I can't stress this enough, DO NOT ANSWER EACH OTHERS POSTS OR DEBATE.
The moment I see the inkling of a debate forming I'm calling in the mods to lock the thread, and we might not get a decent sampling, so please post carefully.
Thank you in advance for your input and responsible posting.
