the "more educated" are just more brainwashed by the educational system... the "les educated" may just be more open to research that discredits the mantras of the liberal educational system.

Moral relativism much? If you are a Christian and base your morals on the Bible, thou shall not kill is one of the big ones because life is sacred. Yet they have made themselves loopholes to allow for killing in self defense, war, and capital punishment. Seems very morally relativistic to me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I'm not sure that's actually a decrease, the wording is a little more precise than I've seen in prior polls. Still should put the "YEC is a tiny fringe minority" argument to bed though. Genesis is a cool story about a comet that's been wildly misunderstood, but that doesn't really have any bearing on whether God exists, only whether what some claim to know about Him is accurate. In those days, I would say 35 to 40 percent was a wild underestimate. But perhaps that's just my recollection from the crowd I was exposed to at the time. |

I also think you should be free to pray to Allah, Jesus, or meditate on Buddha however you want in your own way. So long as I don't have to pay for you to practice it or indoctrinate others in it and so long as you don't infringe on anyone else's right to worship or not worship as they will, I don't give a fuck. 
What do you think? Can we be friends? I do have religious friends. Their religion does not bother me in the slightest. Hail satan.

Lol, religion has cause more death and destruction than just about anything since the astroid that killed the dinosaurs. Was Aristotle religious? He believed in all kinds of Greek Dieties... Yet is the father of the word "Logic" The Romans? First to develop research science. ... And of course Isaac Newton... Father of the modern scientific method... At church every Sunday. isnt Marxism a religion? It's based on the blind faith of the workers paradise. Etc Its easy to conflate philosophy with religion, it's not like pure rationalism magically appears in the absence of religion (more like animalism) |

Religion does not result in good morals. Consequently, the absence of religion does not result in a lack of morality. The Japanese are, by at large, a more upstanding and moral people than us in the West yet they are godless heathens. On the other side of the coin, the theocracy of Saudi Arabia is a cesspit. |

Shhhh, liberal indoctrination centers are evil and can't be trusted when they teach socialism and "science" like man made global warming, but are good and trustworthy when they teach evolution and atheism. IMO public schools shouldn't teach religion or anti religion at all, period. Teach what can be proven or sound, peer reviewed scientific theory, with full disclosure that it's only theory and giving time to the dissent. Keep religion at home and in your place of worship. Germ theory is a scientific theory. There's good objective evidence for it. Same with evolution by natural selection. |

I read the title and translated it to, "The longer the system has to condition you, the less you can think for yourselves" I used to think that higher education was a positive. Lately, though, with what's going on in the streets, I recognize it as just more brainwashing of intellectually stunted goofs. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Everyone's childhood experiences are different but... from what I saw growing up in the 1980s and 90s, most Protestant Christians believed in YEC. But I grew up in fundamentalist churches that preached that everything in the Bible was literally true and that if some observed science contradicted it, then the data must have been faulty or the conclusion wrong. Every piece of worldview was filtered through the core belief that the Bible was always right, no matter what. Things that seemed impossible were met with "God is omnipotent, therefore God did it." In those days, I would say 35 to 40 percent was a wild underestimate. But perhaps that's just my recollection from the crowd I was exposed to at the time. I've still never heard anyone give a coherent explanation of how they reconcile an evolutionary world with the fall and everything that's built upon it though. It's like kicking the cornerstone out of the structure, which is why I think people go to such ridiculous lengths to defend YEC. |

Education /= intelligence This reminds me of one of those studies that finds a glass of wine to be beneficial. And then all the drunks run out and gleefully talk about how healthy their habits are. Catholicism is the largest christian sect in the known universe and they dont believe in creationism. |
