DU This Creationism/Evolution Poll:

[Hosnon]

http://chronicle.augusta.com/polls/

Scroll down about halfway to Thursday, July 12. Creationsim is winning with 225 votes out of 350 so this should be easy to take care of.

Thanks!

1. I find it ironic...

That creationism is winning in an on-line poll.

[CurtEastPoint]

11. When you consider this is the Augusta paper, the most conservative in Ga.

And Ga. is so backasswards, this is not suprising.
And I am a Georgian.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. I think an evolution/creationism debate is better suited...

to something like a Butter-Churning Bee. In the 19th Century.

Certainly not in the 21st, by people who own and operate computers.

[Madspirit]

34. Thank-you Bornagin...

It's 2007. I can't even believe this is happening. We are going backwards. How disheartening.

[Hosnon]

14. Yea, Augusta is the HAVEN for rich Republican golfers...NT.

[rucky]

20. It upsets them to think of the possibility their ancestors were...

[AndyTiedye]

18. Getting Out of Iraq Seems to be Winning Even There Though

Look at some of the other surveys on that page.

Do you agree with the House vote to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq by spring?
Yes (53%) = 225

No (42%) = 178

Undecided (6%) = 24


Does this mean that even the Fundie nutbars are sick of the war in Iraq?

[Hosnon]

47. It's a good sign. NT.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

2. 2:1 creationism ahead... are you fucking kidding me?

:puke:

[karlrschneider]

10. Look at the results from 7-9

:eyes:

[depakid]

39. What do you expect from the deep south?

Rationality?

[Hosnon]

40. Hey, now...

Ease up with the low blows.

[Maat]

3. Done!

The overall results are NOT encouraging, however.

[Hosnon]

48. Thanks! NT.

[azurnoir]

4. A poll from the "red zone"

Take solace in the fact that things that do not evolve go extinct. Oh and done. LOL

[kwolf68]

5. I love those polls

Evolution doesn't need to be 'believed in'. It doesn't care one way or the other, it just happens.

[SteelPenguin]

25. Yeah, I'm not going to vote

If people want to vote that 2+2 really equals 5, they can feel free, but it doesn't make them less stupid.

[Hosnon]

6. Great job so far! Evolution: 37%, Creationism: 57%. NT.

[kwolf68]

9. Remember

That same percentage can't name how many judges sit on the SCOTUS. We aren't talking about a very enlightened populice now.

Shit, they can believe in what they want. I don't care. Believe in Jeebus, believe in a head of lettuce as your savior, believe in a 1975 AMC Pacer....just don't allow our nation to be turned into a theocracy.

[Hosnon]

12. I'm worried that poll results such as this only reinforce the beliefs of the uninformed.

Plus this specific "poll" was used in the paper's forum to defend creationism. Ugh...so many things wrong what that...

Edit: Content.

[kwolf68]

16. Agree

But keep in mind, many people like to be uninformed as it is much easier to take the Creationist viewpoint since there is absolutely no scientific research needed. This book says God created the earth and viola', animals. God said let there be light and viola' sun light.

These people are a moving target though. They thought the earth was flat at one time. We proved them wrong. Then they said the earth was the center of the universe. We proved them wrong. We will prove them wrong again as long as science isn't outlawed.

[Buzz Clik]

7. I tried voting for Creationism, but I don't have an opposable thumb.

:shrug:

[Warren DeMontague]

33. .

:rofl:

[snappyturtle]

8. done......133 for evolution; 266 for creationism!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Hosnon]

15. Keep 'em coming DU! And by the way, Creationism has received 3 extra votes...

:wtf:

Evolution: 41%, Creationism: 53%!!!

Edit: Content.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

17. the next question should be...

Can you define 'evolution' and 'creationism'?

sP

[churchofreality]

19. Done, interesting that these same cavemen are in favor of Iraq pullout.

[riona]

21. My pleasure

Teenage "cerfew?" :rofl:

[Hosnon]

22. Haha, thanks...I didn't catch that. This paper was specifically bought by a rich

Republican so he would have a mouthpiece.

[riona]

31. One more for the Moran Files

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. Take a look at the standings of the "what music do you prefer" poll (Jul 9)

Maybe it doesn't mean anything. Or does it?

[Hosnon]

24. Creationism: 50%, Evolution: 44%. NT.

[DrDan]

26. I am not so comfortable with a paper that misspells "cerfew"

[eleny]

27. They want out of Iraq per the July 13th poll

I was glad to see that.

Btw, for the July 12th poll - done!

[Hosnon]

28. Even Republicans are beginning to see the light.

Thanks!

[Hosnon]

29. Pretty much stalled with Creationism up by 2%!

Keep it up, please!

[Hosnon]

30. Woohoo! We've "turned the corner"! Thanks, DU!

Anything more is icing...but it would be nice to see a 2:1 lead for Evolution.

[Warren DeMontague]

32. Fuck me with a Rolodex, there's a lot of stupid motherfuckers out there.

"Dur!!! Creationism, Of Course! Durrrrrrrr!!!!"

[Hosnon]

35. Hmmm...I think the Freepers have caught wind of this. Creationism has been getting more hits. NT.

[Madspirit]

36. Done!

Evolution is now in the lead. ...by very little. SO VOTE!

Lee

[Hosnon]

38. Thanks! NT.

[Madspirit]

37. Evolution is now leading!!...woohoo VOTE...n/t

[Hosnon]

41. Evolution is ahead 50% to 45% (5% to other). Let's do one final push! NT.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

42. God is gonna be pissed!!!111!

51% evolution to 45% evolution

Are you ready for his wrath?

[Hosnon]

43. Bring it on, God!

Perhaps we should vote Evolution up 2:1 and then see what the Almighty does?

[Hosnon]

44. Kick for the after work crowd. Evolution is only winning by 9%!!! NT.

[snappyturtle]

45. Evolution is now ahead by 10%!!!! nt

[Hosnon]

46. Now by 11%!!! A total of only 606 votes have been entered so it is very easy to influence. NT.

[Warren DeMontague]

49. In other news, 42% of the population believes that if the cobbler leaves shoes out overnight,

little gnomes will come and fix them for him.

[Hosnon]

51. Hehe. NT.

[Liberal In Texas]

50. Done.

Which do you believe in?
Evolution (54%) = 334
Creationism (42%) = 259
Other (5%) = 29

TOTAL 622

[Hosnon]

52. Thanks. NT.

[Cant trust em]

53. Gotta love poll skewing

Which do you believe in?
Evolution (55%) = 347

Creationism (41%) = 260

Other (5%) = 29

TOTAL 636


If only Dems get out the vote programs were this successful in elections that matter.

[Hosnon]

54. I love it. Polls like this are b.s. from the start so we might as well skew them our direction.

:)

Thanks!

[Hosnon]

55. 8 MORE VOTES TO KNOCK CREATIONISM INTO THE 30S!!!

:evilgrin:
