Re: 2007 Gallup Poll Evolution Statistics

39% think creation is definitely true, but only 28% believe evolution is definitely false. That means 11% of those who know they were created 10,000 years ago think they evolved millions of years ago too.
​
The evolutionists aren't off the hook either though becaue 3% of those who think they definitely evolved think they were created too. 18% said evolution was definitely true while only 15% said creation was definitely false.
​
Obviously this is either a very bad poll, or many of the people in America have become totally confused.
​
I would go more for the fact that the people are confused. To me it seems that a large percent of the American population does not know what either Evolution nor creation entails.

Dictionary definition
You gave a dictionary definition so try this one:
Evolution
In biology, evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population from generation to generation. These traits are the expression of genes that are copied and passed on to offspring during reproduction. Mutations in these genes can produce new or altered traits, resulting in heritable differences (genetic variation) between organisms. New traits can also come from transfer of genes between populations, as in migration, or between species, in horizontal gene transfer. Evolution occurs when these heritable differences become more common or rare in a population, either non-randomly through natural selection or randomly through genetic drift.
​
Your definition only scratches the surface. It does not matter whether the resultant organism is more complex or not, only that a change has take place in many cases allowing the population of that organism to better survive.

Since Evolution is only ~90% correct it should be thrown out and replaced by Creation which has even a lower % of correctness. W T Young, 2008

Dictionary Def?
I have found out that the dictionary definition of evolution is quite different than the atheist's.
​
It might help if you give this dictionary definition of evolution and from which dictionary you got it. I might then be able to address it.

Re: Reply to First Post
1. God man man in his own image, so man is unique. Point number one undermines this truth from the bible.
​
Biggest ego trip. Man made God in his image. The bible is at best alligorical, at worst mythology.
​
That's just a recipie for enslavement to a totalitarian elite and newspeak.
​
That is what occurred under the Bush Whitehouse, with is faith based inititives and disregard to the Constitution.
