So how is it that we can know he exists?

 

[nsroach3]

God was a guiding hand.

You didn't have that as an option, though. I went with the one I felt more closely reserabled my views.

 

[UNPOLITICALLY CORRECT]

Other: I don't KNOW and neither does anyone else on the planet. I SUSPECT it may be a little bit of both.

 

[adabsum]

People are morons.

I knew it but it was reaffirmed at 7:04pm today.


And again at 7:31

 

[Hippie.]

God did it, I don't claim to know exactly how. Evolution seems to be pretty well supported by the evidence though.

Yeah I'm more talking about health inputs like nutrition, environment and health practices.

I don't really know much about human ancestors, didn't take any anthro classes. I spose they could have been larger, but they wouldn't have been humans, no? I don't know.



There study that I read that looked at stature (height) suggested that aside from people from Asia, all other continents had the same genetic potential for stature given the same inputs. Of course, this was an economics paper, but it was still interesting none the less.

Edit: this was also based on a large sample sizes, each group had out layers obviously, but over a large population group given the same inputs the averages would be the same.

I know beyond a doubt that it wasn't magic.

God just sat there bored staring at the screen for 1,000 bajillion years then fucked a virgin?

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

 

[subwaylover#1]

That is pretty condescending view point. Many religious people would argue the atheist could just as easily open their eyes to the possibility of god.

Your poll poorly reflects the belief of creationists. Even the Bible says that humans have evolved (changed over time). Creationists won't argue that. Humans used to be larger and live longer, according to the Bible.

You are also pitting two different kinRAB of beliefs. It would be more correct to compare Creation with spontaneous generation, not evolution. Evolution assumes there's already a population of living things to evolve.

Why is this in DIAC and not OT?

 

[BADBOY!!!]

all of this didnt come from nothing.

 

[VICTORIA Joachim]

Reading the wording of the poll, it seems that there is no correct answer for you.
Answer two might seem to you to be correct, but includes "less advanced forms", as if evolution means turning small, simple things into big, complex things, and that humans are "more advanced" than the things that they evolved from. That's not true at all. And it's sad that none of the extremist evolutionist atheist heathens hasn't bothered to point that out yet.

 

[sexyeyes12]

Well, if you want to get technical, it's more like 78% believe in creationism. But just 40% believe in "as-is" creationism.

Those who don't believe in ANY FORM of creationism are still massively in the minority, at 16%.

that must have been when we lived with the dinosaurs, and rode them around like horses

 

[poisonkisses4me]

If you want to know why human kind is fucked look at the poll results of this thread. A large part of humanity is insane.

That does not mean there was a god!
