It is amazing the sheer numbers of arrogant jerks you find on the Internet.

Yeah, I'm everywhere.

I put up a simple poll because I was curious about the topic and you feel you need to add the above.

Oops, sorry dude, I was totally off-base. See, here I thought you had a position on theism vs. atheism and on nature and God, and I tried to predict your stance and obviously I was wrong. You had nothing to say about anything, no agenda, you just wanted to know how many SMPers hang out in the great outdoors. My bad...

Although, I do think (regardless of madnak's reply) it is hard to experience the wild and not believe that something greater than chance is responsible.

No, to make my point explicit, because pure snarkism isn't appropriate on this forum, I wasn't insulting you to be a jerk. I was anticipating your argument to undermine your credibility. This is a point that has been brought up over and over again here and probably on almost every relevant forum out there. By nipping things in the bud, I think I can prevent Splendour-esque preaching or worse ("Jaws" theme, anyone?). It's already been said, but I'll reiterate - evolution isn't "chance," and a sense of meaning doesn't depend on theism.
