Yes, but ask them specifically, if they believe that man evolved from a creature that was less intelligent than an ape, a creature that needed millions of years to finally grow a brain large enough to invent a bow and arrow, and I bet you wont find many to agree with that. If you did however, it wouldn't change my opinion. The bible says that a day will come when people no longer endure sound doctrine , and no longer endure the truth, but will be turned aside unto myths or fables. So if a majority of Christians did actually believe the ape-man fable, then it wouldn't be surprising, although a little shocking. I would still be in the minority that didn't believe that fable however, if that were to happen.

They have been asked, over and over in many, many polls whether they agree with the TOE and the majority says yes.

I see you avoided my question again.

Despite popular belief, Orthodox doesn't necessarily reflect scripture.

I can see that you either don't understand human behavior, or haven't yet observed it fully. I can see that you also don't understand the specifics of the poll I was suggesting.

Polls have been done with specific questions asked; did God have a role in evolution, or did he not.

At the end of the day, the majority AGREED with the theory of evolution. You see, someone either agrees with it, or they don't.

Are you going to answer my question?

The majority doesn't believe that. I bet if you took an unbiased poll among Christians, and asked them whether they believed that man evolved from apes, then the majority would say no.

You would lose again. From the latest Gallop Poll, only a majority of American Christians with a high school (or less) education and who attend church at least once a week believe in YE creationism. The idea that God used evolution as the process of creation is held by ~32% of regular church attendees. This percentage increases with education.

So, unless your criteria for being a Christian is a poorly educated person who attends church weekly, you lose.

Truth is stranger than fiction n most fiction that is entertained becomes reality... Just love the CERN insanity or Tesla patents... They made tesla out to be some tootsie fruity.... Proofs in the pudding....

Justifications only sound good to those who make them.... Shalom
