I get it.  But the fact still remains that if the polls can be believed, a fairly large part of the population believes in creationism not either intelligent design or scientific evolution.  So I don't think in matters of faith, discussing scientific rationality is a productive endeavor.  Besides, this thread is about public bathrooms and proper gender etiquette.  Probably why the owners wanted to stay away from religious issues., lol.

Creationism defined as what?  That the earth was created 6000 years ago?  I can't tell you how many people I've talked religion with in my life, and I've only met two who believed that nonsense, and one later rescinded that absurd belief.

There is no way 40% of the US population believes the Genesis version of creationism.  Not a chance.
Guess who got the NYT's endorsement in the GOP primary?

He is an as*hole.  I do not understand your bromance with the guy?

These anti-Trumps sure set a low bar, don't they?

I would rather lose than become a leftist.

RomneyCare wasn't leftist?

Anyhow, this loser mentality is exactly why we have had 8 years of Obama, and at least 4 more of the Clintons.

One may show disdain for someone without insulting them overtly.

Attempt it.

You may be right, but Gallup has been conducting this for years, and defines is as created within 10,000 years, as opposed to intelligent design which, though set in motion by a "creator" nevertheless relies on the evolutionary process.  Interestingly only about 20 percent believed in pure evolution.  I'm not sure what Gallup would have in mind by making something like that up.
It's the Supreme Court nominations!

I have no idea.  Maybe they only polled within a mile of Fundamentalist Christian churches. 

I subscribe to intelligent design, fwiw, but don't really know where that intelligence comes from, so I'm basically agnostic but follow the rules set forth in the Ten Commandments because they reflect common sense.  I don't judge other who break some of those, though.  Not my place.

It's the only poll I've seen that stays relatively the same year after year.  Anyway, as I mentioned up-thread I gave up trying to figure out how the big bang was initiated, so I doubt anyone knows.  If so, they haven't told me.

Mesaclone!

You prove me right every day, as evidenced by the quality of your debate and the degree of intelligence between your ears.

And LOVE being able to say, "See?  I told you so!"    :beer:

You're a true asset to the forum, sir.

I'll give you 10 to 1 that it started when someone said "Hold my beer and watch this."  :tongue2:
