Beliefs on evolution

[nerd1]

Finding out the percentage of people who believe in evolution, and how many of those people are theists (yes, i am one of those rare theists that believe in evolution).

[QuantumT]

I don't know that it's necessarily rare among more moderate theists. Even back when I was a Christian, I interpreted it that evolution was the mechanism that God used to create life on earth, and the story of creation was intended to be taken metaphorically as opposed to literally.

(No and atheist were my responses btw)

[SeddyRocky]

Spell and grammar would be nice. No/Atheist for me.

What about Agnostics? (God's existence/nonexistence is unknown and unknowable)
+1 Agnostic [I did not vote in the 2nd poll]

i think you should post in"theist" because for me and atheist is someone who does not believe in god under all circumstances, and you are not saying "god doesn't exist"

Except that's not necessarily what an atheist is. Also, that's not how agnosticism works.

not necessarily, but i would like us to assume that for the purposes of this poll.

Most agnostics fall under the heading of weak/negative atheism, so I don't think calling them theists is at all accurate.

Additionally, intelligent design will only really occur in people with an expressed belief in a religion.

There. Something the 2 (3?) sides can agree on.

[RootRanger]

No, and atheist.
About agnosticism...
Any reasonable human being should know that the existence of a god can be neither proven nor disproven. But are we all agnostics? No, because some people think the existence of a god is near certain (theist), and others think that there is next to no chance (atheist). I see agnostics as a theist questioning their religion, a weak atheist, or someone inbetween.

[OldTrees]

My agnosticism is based in my belief that unqualified knowledge is impossible to obtain and my belief that the existence/nonexistence of a god(s) does not matter in the pursuit of moral action.

So I am inbetween an agnostic theist and an agnostic atheist (know to atheists as a soft atheist).

I will continue to not vote in the second poll and just have my post signify my vote for the third option. I think that the data will be more accurate with this method.

Additionally, intelligent design will only really occur in people with an expressed belief in a religion or aliens.

There. Something the 2,3,5 or 6 (depends on how you slice it) sides can agree on.

Improved.

I was god fearing, then I believed god was fake, then I believed something like god was there, and now I am wiccan and I am still working out what I believe in.
Thats my life.
Also I have not played yu-gi-oh in a long while, is the game still decided within a few turns?
