So, what is the latest proportion of your fellow Americans that believe the Bible's version of creation is true and science is wrong?

Are you ashamed to look up this figure and compare it with other nations?

Cheers,
Shafique

Nice to see you adding your spin within an article (you should be more careful when you insert your words into an article, you'll be accused of inserting loon spin). Given that you were caught out passing off invented accounts as the truth, I would have thought you'd be more careful now. http://www....

Israel's Foes Embrace New Resistance Tactics 07.02.2010 | The Wall Street Journal JERUSALEM—Hamas and Hezbollah, groups that have long battled Israel with violent tactics, have begun to embrace civil disobedience, protest marches, lawsuits and boycotts—tactics they once dismissed. For decades, Pales...

Fox and Friends on a 'Muslims for Peace' ad campaign:

(Yes, Fox News!

(Brit Muslims had a similar campaign earlier on this year:

I guess the loon rant was inevitable given he hadn't read the first article very closely! At the end of the day, what the Imam is saying is that the gripes the angry young men had in 2007 are largely still there - and regardless of loon rants, the problem is with the minority of numpties that decide...

What's the matter eh - can't handle the truth? So, what is the latest proportion of your fellow Americans that believe the Bible's version of creation is true and science is wrong? Are you ashamed to look up this figure and compare it with other nations? That's the criterion used by Chomsky and disp...

Peace with Islam and Muslims is impossible. The only time Muslims seek peace is when they need to reload. 'nuff said - the loon has spoken. The loon turmoil is understandable - when Fox News broadcasts the information that Islam is peaceful, loon's are swooning across loon-land. Cheers, Shafique

I guess they are the equivalent of the big business lobbies in the States then. (Serious)

Fascinating stuff.

From Haaretz yesterday: "This is a sad day for the citizens of Israel, when racism receives legitimization," said Ran Cohen, the Director of the Migrant Refugee & Non-Status Division of the organization Doctors for Human Rights. .. Meretz MK Ilan Gil'on said that "again, we are wi...

Ah, the loon selective quotes at work. ... Rasheed Jalal, head of minorities in the Pakistan Muslim League – PML says that if the problem is not resolved peacefully, Christians have the right to require the district to suspend the grants. "The subsidy - he says - is paid with public money colle...

shafique

Yeah, thanks for making my point for me. We should compare like with like - capital punishment that is not in the Quran is not related to Americans believing the Bible's story of creation above that of science. So, again - what is the latest proportion of Americans who reject science and believe the...

shafique

Huh? Loon is caught out selectively quoting an article (again) and isn't embarrassed by the fact that the same article quoted Muslims denouncing the discrimination. Sigh. But hey, glad to see you taking a stance against discrimination for a change - you usually are defending or denying the racism el...

shafique

I'm not shifting any goalposts. Chomsky's words (which you quoted in the first post) are about the more than half of Americans who believe that science is wrong and that that all living species were created 6,000 years ago in their current form. This belief is based on a literal interpretation of th...

shafique

So, what is the % of Americans who believe

that all living species were created 6,000 years ago in their current form.

Is it still above 50%?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

You're quite welcome - but all I did was quote the full story.

Still waiting for your condmenation (or otherwise) of the racism in Tel Aviv. I guess a long wait is to be expected.

Ah the loon is running away. Noam Chomsky: We must bear in mind that the US is a very fundamentalist society, perhaps more than any other society in the world – even more fundamentalist than Saudi Arabia* or the Taliban**. That's very surprising. About half of the [US] population believes that all l...

But why are you avoiding the bombshells that over 2/3rds of religious Republicans and especially those who only had a High School education, reject scientific explanations for creation and believe that Bible is literally true on this subject?

This topic was raised in the Chomsky thread in the politics section - so over to eh.

73% of religious Republicans reject science and believe the Bible's account of creation.

Incredible.

As for YEC - we've already got a thread in the religion forum (bumped to the top there) - there you can find the evidence used by the Christians who reject science.

Wow, 73%!!

Cheers,
Shafique

What's that sound - loons losing the plot? Ha ha.

Well, we can now add this quote as further evidence: Peace with Islam and Muslims is impossible.

shafique

Your argument is not with me, it is with the 73% of religious Republicans in the USA believe that the Bible does say this. Good luck with that. (I trust you're not going to construct a loon fantasy and blame the Moooslims for the beliefs of your fellow Christians) Anyway, I'm glad you disagree with ...

shafique

Just because you seem to disagree with the 73% of religious Republicans who do believe that the Bible trumps science, doesn't change Chomsky's point that the US is fundamentalist because so many of your fellow American Christians do believe in the Bible over science. You seem to be labouring under t...

Yes, for anyone who actually lives in the US, touting claims that half of Americans believe the earth is six thousand years old is pretty funny. See what happens when loons are presented with evidence. They go into denial. The stats actually show that 73% of eh's fellow religious republicans believ...

shafique

Hey, glad to see you've picked yourself up off the floor after finding out that 73% of your fellow religious republicans reject science's explanation of creation and believe we were all created 6000 years ago! But we're still waiting to hear your scientific explanation of the Biblical claim that the...
