according to a study 4 years ago 61% of Canadians endorse evolution compared to 30% of Americans and 22%Canadians believe in Creationism compared to 51% Americans.
If one simply went by numbers the folks who immigrated or were born in Canada are products of evolution from a simple organism whereas those who immigrated to or born in the States were Created by God directly. The real confusion is my wifeès family came to Canada several generations ago after spending almost three centuries in the States, so was she created or did she evolve?

Ça a pas d’allure!
Acccept for Trout, Canadians all have that snow sickness and can't think straight, lol.
Wonder what the stats and percentages are for Canadians who believe in God and how many don't.
Gotta love him for sticking to his story. I didn't even realize people still actually believed the earth was 6000 years old.
What surprises me even more is why they think it even matters. Is God somehow less great the longer it took Him to create the earth? Is his creation only awesome if it's new rather than old?

They just miss interpret it, it was written to be taken as symbolic, but your right, it doesn't matter in my opinion, but I do believe in Evolution and very old earth.
The big bang is what I see when he just spoke everything into a beginning and it was already set to evolve., but yeah, my Mom believes the Earth is 6000 years old.

I don't think it does matter to most people. I called BS on that Gallup survey. The only ones they asked how old they thought the earth was were the creationists. Also, in order to answer as a creationist you also had to say the earth was >10,000 years old. Something wasn't right about they way they did that.

Aint it, polls always seem to have an agenda and a way of putting things to help you answer what they want you to say.

Same here.

I think things may be different the older people are. Both of my parents are dead now, but if they were still alive, they'd be over 100 years old. I know for a fact that my dad believed in an old earth and evolution, and I'm about 90% sure my mom did, too. But I also know that many people (maybe even the majority) of their generation believed that the whole thing took place 6000 years ago over a period of six 24-hour days. I just remember my dad rolling his eyes when I'd come home from church having been told by some wacked out Sunday School teacher his age who'd me that people who believe in evolution think that humans can give birth to monkeys and visa versa. That's when my dad started teaching me that it was okay not to believe every word anybody ever said, just because they said it within the walls of a church.
This is simply inexcusable for our country. Just goes to show how uneducated and scientifically illiterate this nation is.
But isn't that a failure of science?
