Britons Unconvinced on Evolution

Posted by Roblimo on from the the-U.S.-is-not-the-only-unevolved-country dept.

pryonic writes "The BBC is reporting that more than half of Britons do not believe in evolution, with a further 40% advocating that creationism or intelligent design should be taught in school science classes. I'm a Brit myself, and I thought most people over here thought these views were outdated and lacked substance. None of my close friends give any credit to creationism or ID, but we're all well educated athiests so I guess that's to be expected. Maybe I've been blind to the views of the majority in this proudly secular country?"

  1. You are all missing the point by skelatorX · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You are all simply missing the real question at hand. What is the end result of your life? Ask the question that most of you refuse to ask yourself? What happens when you die? I went through a near death experience; I was murdered. I experienced life after death and came in contact with who people call Jesus. He is real alright. That doesn't make me an idiot, or unscientific. I still live my life unreligiously, but I accept him and what he did for me. Wow, according most of you, that makes me equivilant to a Windows user. One thing is for sure, when you die you don't go to sleep. There is nothing wrong with accepting the truth of God. Who said you had to be religious? All I can say is my eyes are now open.
