In response to "2) makes me mad." by con_carne

It's a mash-up!

Posted by Dr.Vermin (aka Dr.Vermin) Jan 5 '11, 16:44

ST has shown in the past that 'God and Evolution might be partners' concept is definitely growing in popularity.

It's the belief I was raised with. The other 2 options were relatively unusual among people I knew. -- nm - mara Jan 5, 17:15
baby steps to rational thought... -- nm - znufrii Jan 5, 17:03 10
- all of those beliefs are rational, really. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 17:17 9
  - beliving is rational but the belif is not - Danedukenuuk Jan 5, 17:18 8
    - I'll counter that. Believing is irrational, by definition. All of those beliefs can be rational, depending on which assumptions you choose. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 17:19 7

        fath is a feeling and all feelings can be tricked - Danedukenuuk Jan 5, 17:29
        
        I think all beliefs about evolution require a leap of faith, which is hopefully based on a rational foundation. - loosilu Jan 5, 17:26 3
        
        you do? - Danedukenuuk Jan 5, 17:34 1
        
        it is always a leap of faith, because no one was there and it can't be tested. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 17:59
        
        also.... - loosilu Jan 5, 17:32
      - to the one that belive it is rational to belive - Danedukenuuk Jan 5, 17:22
Totally agree with your IM -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 16:55
Evolution does not have any opinion of god or how life was created/formed - Danedukenuuk Jan 5, 16:54
it's standard for people who are involved in mainstream religions. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 16:50 7
- So... 40% of people believe in creationism, but aren't in mainstream religions? How are you defining 'mainstream'? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 5, 16:53 6
  - mainstream means not evangelical, and that number horrifies me on many levels. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 16:54 5

      - probably becouse the question is wrong - Danedukenuuk Jan 5, 17:16
      - You're right, and I apologize. I'm going by the literal wording of the poll. - loosilu Jan 5, 17:15
      - I think it's easy enough to assume that we're talking about propensities here rather than hard and fast labels. -- nm - znufrii Jan 5, 17:15 1
        
        I'm a lumper, and sweeping generalizations are my weakness. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 17:16
