CJ, > It is certainly possible, even common, to believe in God and have no truck with creationism. Possible? yes. Common? Maybe. The majority? Yeah right. I was answering Ted's assertion that he doesn't have to prove anything because he thinks he's in the "majority." A simple Google search proves Ted wrong, as usual: msnbc.msn.com cbsnews.com Most Americans support teaching both creationism and evolution and letting students decide. Personally, I agree as long as it's kept in the realm of philosophy. Tenchusatsu

"9 out of 10 Americans believe in God. The Declaration of Independence mentions the existence of a "Creator."" Oops. False dichotomy. This does not mean the majority thinks that creationism should be taught. It is certainly possible, even common, to believe in God and have no truck with creationism. We weren't even talking about belief in God. After all, you can believe in God and not believe in creationisn. However the whole creationism thing wasn't working for Ten so he moved the subject. You understand.......winning an argument is more important than the truth.
