    You can not be serious. :rolleyes:

    http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_publi.htm how about this one second search, how anyone could not know this simple fact yet have the balls to try to act they know about something is simply foolish.

    .14% at that time of scientists in the US where creationism is strong gave it credence.

    I'll prove water is wet for you as well.

    They haven't actually.
    I point you to one example I remember clearly from my days as a biology A-level student: the Peppered Moth in Britain.

    It was 98% light grey before the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century. By the end of that century nearly all (95%) the moths had evolved into a darker (soot coloured) form.

    Moths carrying the allele for light grey colouration all but died out due to natural selection.

    There are very few transistional fossils out there. The fossil record is in fact quite empty in the case to prove evolution.

    It's not the same thing at all. A monkey has no natural predators so evolutionary drift is much slower.

    Survey: Most doctors believe in God, afterlife
    55 percent say religion influences how they practice medicine


    CHICAGO - A survey examining religion in medicine found that most U.S. doctors believe in God and an afterlife — a surprising degree of spirituality in a science-based field, researchers say.

    In the survey of 1,044 doctors nationwide, 76 percent said they believe in God, 59 percent said they believe in some sort of afterlife, and 55 percent said their religious beliefs influence how they practice medicine.

    “We were surprised to find that physicians were as religious as they apparently are,” said Dr. Farr Curlin, a researcher at the University of Chicago’s MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics.


    Belief in “a supreme being ... is vitally important to physicians’ ability to take care of patients, particularly the end-of-life issues that we deal with so often,” said Hill, a family physician from Tupelo, Miss.

    Religions among physicians are more varied than among the general population, the survey found. While more than 80 percent of the U.S. population is Protestant or Catholic, 60 percent of doctors said they were from either group.

    Compared with the general population, more doctors were Jewish — 14 percent vs. 2 percent; Hindu — 5 percent vs. less than 1 percent; and Muslim — almost 3 percent vs. less than 1 percent.

    There are actually many transitional fossils, Hundreds in fact. But then, How many transitional fossils would you need? Surely even if only one exists it would demonstrate that transitional forms are a reality and that forms in a transitional phase between known species existed and as such would prove evolution occurred.

    It seems now all the creationists are doing is parroting the lies they have read on creationist propaganda sites.

    What do doctors believing or not believing in god have anything to do with scientists believing in creationism or not?

    Thanks again for proving my point.

    They can not prove evolution. It never happened. That is why Dr.s and scientist do not believe evolution. They do however believe in the Lord.

    I believe in God, but it's more for spiritual reasons that scientific. That's my only reason for saying initially that Creation has a place in the classroom. But my belief in God does not erase the volumous scientific evidence that the Earth originated from the Big Bang and life evolved from primitive single celled organisms.

    Evolution is a fact. I believe in it and I can tell you that every scientist I know believes in it too.

    There is no scientific evidence just theory. I read a theory once that babies were found in fields under cabbage.

    All it says is that some illustrative photos were staged. And let's not forget to point out that this is from the discovery institute, They are in charge of creationist propaganda.

    tell me, What do you think would happen to a species as a whole if the ones who carried the genes for lighter colouring were eaten more often than the ones that carried the gene for darker colouring? Would the species stay the same colour, get lighter or get darker?

    You can't formulate a theory unless you have evidence. I tell you there is plenty of evidence pointing at evolution, natural selection and survival of the fittest.

    I've studied biology and I know a lot of biologists - they'd all tell you the same.

    That's called adaptation not evolution.

    <sarcasm>
    But I'm sure most of them believe in creation
    </sarcasm>

    You are like many with a scientific background, you believe in god, you however can not deny the overwhelming scientific facts put in front of you.
