Public Opinion




        1.Many organizations have surveyed public attitudes on the teaching of orgins. The results are remarkably consistant, regardless of wether creationist, evolutionist, or some other organization conducted the survey. Typically, responses are as follows:

        5% I would like only evolution taught.
        15% I would like only creation taught.
        70% I would like both creation & evolution taught.
        10% No opinion, or teach neither.

        2. Gallup has conducted three polls of the beliefs in the United States concerning orgins. People were given four choices:

        *The Creation Position: God created man pretty much in his present form at one time within the last 10,000 years.
        *The Theistic Evolution position: Man has developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process, including man's creation.
        *The Atheistic Evolution Position: Man has developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life. no God participated in this process.
        *No Opinion

        Notice how few people are atheistic evolutionist, and yet this position dominates our schools and media. It is noteworthy that despite the monopolistic teaching of evolution, so many are creationist.

        Some will incorrectly claim that almost all scientists believe in evolution. In this regard, the only survey of scientists of which this author is aware, involved chemists. Less than half (48.3%) said that "it was possible that humans evolved in a continuous chain of development from simple elements in a primoridial soup." A slight majority (51.7%) said that "supernatural intervention played a role." Murray Saffran, "Why Scientists Shouldn't Cast Stones," The Scientist, 5 September 1988,p11.
