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

EDIT: The "when was the universe was created" question is in reference to 6,000 years ago (hand of god) vs the big bang. I realize that it's entirely possible to believe the big bang occurred and not lose faith in god.

'Militant/strong' atheists generally go "There is no god and anyone that believes in god is stupid". 'Reasonable/somewhat' atheists tend to admit they might be wrong but are still atheists. I should have made that clearer.

This sounds more like an analysis of attitude than a delineation of fact.

Your "reasonable/somewhat atheists" just sound mellow and potentially verging over into agnostics. Your "militant/strong atheists" just sound like dicks.

Also, I think you need to parse finer that a person can believe stupid things without being stupid. There probably are very few people ever born who didn't believe some surprisingly stupid things. That isn't necessarily enough to make them stupid.

evolution vs intelligent design is another dumb one. Why even post these leading questions?

Yes, some people aren't well read enough to know that pretty much every scientific organization on the planet endorses the IPCC. I wanted to separate the ignorant from the skeptics and deniers.

HAHAH...the similarity between the church telling everyone the world is flat, and the politicians feeding you the global warming hysteria is too much. If you cant see how that poll wording is biased, you are a moron. And it has nothing to do with whether people believe there is a scientific consensus or not.

I have a tough time answering these because I want to say "both" on some.

Man was created.....via evolution...but I believe there was supernatural that got the initial ball rolling.
