Yeah, I know that, I was going on what seems to be the Xtian criticism I've heard. They probably haven't got to that stage yet.

We share common ancestors with all living ape species, and also with bananas and lilies.
And plankton.
And creationists.

They're not going to be pleased . . .

Why did the 'researchers' (ComRes on behalf of the Theos thinktank.) split up creationism and intelligent design into two vote choices - they bumped the figues by doing that alone.

Was it? I didn't see that in the article?
Sound statistical point.
I wonder whether there's been research into whether people feel the urge to be "fair" to the questions - to consider each option presented as though it were equal, even to feel sorry for the poor lonesome spurious option?
As for "why":
(Some interpolation may have occurred in the above quote.)
The first to call themselves "fundamentalists" were (arguably, as is everything in history) the followers of William B. Riley in Boston:

Arguably, too, though he was clearly a barking true fundamentalist, what he objected to was the so-called "Social Darwinism" promoted, mostly in the US, by Herbert Spencer - nothing whatsoever to do with the evolution of species by differential survival of varied inheritance, but an attempt to argue that the poor were inherently inferior.

She's just told you that you are on ignore and yet you still post something directed at her. How fucking thick are you?

Tip: being 'on ignore' means she doesn't see what you're writing even when you manage a sentence that parses.

"Evolution is very badly taught in schools so the results of the survey don't surprise me.
- from the article
There is no single theory of evolution. There are many such theories, and have been since ancient times. Darwin's is only one among these theories, though for the past 150 years it has been the most influential. However I believe that the Darwinian consensus came to an end with the publication of Stephen J. Gould's final work, "The Structure of Evolutionary Theory," in which he definitively breaks with Darwin. I also think this is a good thing because, as he himself openly admitted, Darwin based his theory of evolution on the then-popular rationalizations of capitalism being offered by Adam Smith and Thomas Malthus.

So many particulars. So many questions.
lol at 'believe'
I don't believe in the sun. I can see the science of it rising each morning, but I choose irrational faith over hard fact.

Interesting point. Perhaps horror at social Darwinism turned Christians against the theory as a whole. Certainly the likes of CK Chesterton were notable (and rare) critics of eugenics.
No-one ever really has anyone on ignore. Those who loudly claim to have people on ignore actually pay intensely close attention to those very people's every word. Obviously.

No, they do. Really. There's loads of them.
And they have no idea what you just said . .

you appear to be a hell of a lot thicker than me as you are not aware that it is well known on urban that some people reach for ignore then take people of ignore just to see what is being said about them and then going back to ignore again or ask there insecure friends what is being said about them via PM
indeed whol ethreads have been dedicated to the subject personally i think your just another white middle class mono pussy butting into somthing in order to impress a silly snobish bitch regarding a matter which does no concern you in the hope you'll get some pussy 
i dont give flying fuck what you or this silly bitch think however i do think that a snobish bitch like that who is teacher and who has friends like you is going to continue to fail working class kids and give the socail geneticists grist to there mill

misogyny and illiteracy, a winning combination
Scifisam is a *teacher?* Tell me it's not true. And if it is true, it goes a long way towards explaining this survey.
