You people all know really stupid Christians. Let me tell you, the vast majority of Christians are educated, reasonable people that accept the theory of evolution.

I'm Christian. :o

And yet, the pope apparently agrees with the idea of evolution, albeit in a way that factors in god.
Try telling a Protestant that they should listen to the pope.   :P



Did not expect that.

Highest Christian denomination support for evolution is 58% (Catholic). That's a majority, but not a vast majority.

And let's not talk about the Jehova's Witnesses.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I agree here, although, I did find this nice quote from a Macromeme image.
Quote
If all the atheists left the USA, it would lose 93% of the National Academy of Sciences but less than 1% of the prison population.

That's some pretty significant numbers there. Considering atheists are very much a minority in the USA AFAIK.

That's just the Catholics, you're not including the large portion of protestants that accept evolution. EDIT: Sorry, didn't read your link. That is just a survey conducted in just the USA. There are many more creationist Christians in the USA than anywhere else in the world, I'd say most protestants outside the USA accept evolution.

Sorry if my sarcasm detector isn't working, but I highlighted the important part of that post.

A macromeme image doesn't count as a reliable source, I'm afraid.

Thats, depressing. Especially considering the pope supports evolution, and the entire point of Catholicism is LISTENING TO THE POPE.

Oh yeah, Orthodox takes second place for chrisitians!

Hrm, yes and no. Europe would have much more reasonable numbers. Africa... no.

But yeah the original statistic was just the US.

Well, China has a billion people, and is largely atheist, with traditionalist and confucianist. India has a billion, and is, shockinglu, largely composed of Hindus and Buddhists, which support the concept whole-Heartedly. I can see why though, makes alot of sense in their world-view.
