I have no idea what you are even babbling about. I'm just pointing out reality. If it bothers you that much, tough cookies.

That's the whole point, of course, you don't want a definition for the pedantic generalizations you spew across these threads. You might actually have to defend one of you fallacious attacks.
No, they are pedantic taunts.What generalities? These are all just basic facts mark.
There is one in every thread, sometimes they start threads, same fallacious volley ball.I have no idea what you are even babbling about. I'm just pointing out reality. If it bothers you that much, tough cookies.

Based on what I've been able to research re: polling data, creationism is declining in the U.S., Canada and Australia.
There was some furor a couple years ago about creationism being on the rise in Europe, but I can't find any actual polling or trend information. Plus, creationist presence in most European countries tends to be much smaller compared to countries like the U.S. so even over there a "rise in creationism" may not necessarily indicate a particularly large shift in demographics.
What I would be most interested to see is any demographic information for creationists in Europe. I know in the U.S. and Canada creationists are predominantly the older cohort (e.g. 55+) which explains the continual downward trend in those countries. I would be interested to see if Europe is similar or not.
A "creationist" is someone eho believes in a God who "created" the multiverse in some way, i.e. belief in some form of intelligent design.
It has everything to do with if you believe God's Word or not.In the context of this thread (and the context of most discussions), a creationist is someone who believes that life forms were created fully formed (particularly humans) as opposed to having evolved over time.
It has nothing to do with atheism versus theism.

Yes it does.. because even with your new definition of creationism
So it's easy then to look at trends in religion since you have zero chance to believe in creationism if you don't believe in a creator.
It's not a "new definition" of anything. It's a commonly used definition both in polling and in these discussions.
I've never been in these discussions or polling..
Then welcome!
Yeah I think you just showed in spades why this is a bad idea.
Common sense - I like it a lot.
First crazy evolution etc thread. Now I know why I stay away. A simple answer to a simple question is unappreciated
Just to re-iterate, at no point in this thread is creationist wholly synonymous with Christian or theism.
By creationist, we're talking about specific beliefs that involve rejection of the idea of evolution of species and of humans in particular. Anyone who has a different definition of "creationist" is welcome to it, but that's not what is being discussed in this thread.
Trying to twist/change/confuse definitions isn't going to work.
