GALLUP: Majority of Republicans Doubt Theory of Evolution
Posted on August 9th, 2007 by MichaelMore Americans accept theory of creationism than theory of evolution …
PRINCETON, NJ — The majority of Republicans in the United States do not believe the theory of evolution is true and do not believe that humans evolved over millions of years from less advanced forms of life.
This suggests that when three Republican presidential candidates at a May debate stated they did not believe in evolution, they were generally in sync with the bulk of the rank-and-file Republicans whose nomination they are seeking to obtain.

In arguments about creation vs evolution, many people join up statemetns that are rational & evidence based with statements that are about beliefs that have no empirical evidence. While they can sometimes go hand in hand ( eg leading scientists have held christian beliefs and continued to be scientists) I think we all should have studied phiosophy and logic at school, so that we could think for ourselves about what it is to be human. The fundamental question of “why are we here” should rather be “why can we think” . The answers should be positive!!

Humans as we are but whatever we create with our limited capacity is
just a poor image of the sovereign creator who created us.
The beautiful house can not stand alone had not the architect conceptualised,designed and built it so for his own satisfaction.
If the double helix genetic code can be decipher through the binary or digital system,
then we are just operating in the poor image of the one who conceptualised and designed it in the first place,are’t We?
