Default Re: A few \'scientific\' polls to compare OOT to the rest of the US

ID and evolution arent mutually exclusive is my point. It really is a nice try, you know, getting his wording to pander to the "intelligent" posters on this board, but anyone with half a brain can see how ridiculously leading and condescending the questions are.

I agree that his language isn't precise, and probably a little more loaded/biased than helpful. Not being religious myself I didn't have a problem picking the choices, but you're right that not all of the choices are mutually exclusive.

I think a more interesting way to word the evolution/ID question would have been either:

Which of the following is a scientific theory:
1) Natural Selection
2) Intelligent Design
3) Both
4) Neither


or something like that, though that just measures knowledge and not so much personal "belief" I guess
