Maybe it would be interesting to make another "research only thread" but without poll and asking everyone "their religion".
Not a discussion thread nor a blame thread, just to know what people believe (even thought we already know what a lot of people here think).
Interesting questions maybe  :
a) Do you believe in God?
a.1) If a) answered yes -> what kind of God do you believe in? Religion? Do you believe in miracles?
a.2) If a) answered no, dunno -> Are you atheist? Agnostic?
b) Are you evolucionist?
b.1) Do u think it could be posible an earth with less than 10k years old?
c) Did Jesus exist?
c.1) If asked yes -> Who do you think He was?
d) Do your parents believe in God?
d1) Are they religious?
e) Age?
Maybe other questions would be interesting, dunno, ideas?.

I have no idea wether God exists or not, I just can't believe God is what any religion says. Therefore I voted NO.
Wondering about the existence of a perfect being, the meaning of "good" is philosophy.
Wondering if there's a God who created mankind a few years ago and will send gays and people who don't go to the church to hell is just stupidity.
But since I can't answer the first questions, I answered the last one.

No, *sigh* I was asking you to clarify your own subsequent post, when you said: "Scientists were only able to date back to the bible's interpretation of the date of the creation of humans, not the earth or the universe."
Your post puzzled me because I was rather under the impression that God was supposed to have created the universe and man withing a few days of each other. I also thought that creationists put the creation of the Earth at just a few thousand years ago. Yet the big bang theory, which you claim does not conflict with creationism, suggests that the universe is several billion years old. How do you reconcile all these factors?
Are you trying to claim that scientists do not date the universe at several billions of years? 
Still, I suppose if you are 'out' you won't be answering.

religion should be about people, not gods. people deserve more credit than to say that the only way to get people to listen is to tell them stories about gods. i think ppl deserve more credit than that

According to the bible men has only been on the earth for arround 7,000 years, and since the universe was created in 7 days well... there you go your date.

Hmm.. my bad, I meant to refer to the basic creationist model, putting the creation at just a few thousand years ago. My main point stands though.

how come the most fundamentalistic christians I've talked to always think the earth is less than 10000 years old if there's mention of it in the bible? =/
(note, I'm not saying that the bible states a number or anything. just that if you interpret what the bible is saying literally, then the earth could not be more than 10000 years old, unless people lived for hundreds or thousands of years.)

ignorance exists, werent you aware of that? (pun intended  )

horrible site sickening that someone could actually write those questions and then come up with those "answers." :-(

"Logic dictates that God does not exist."
On the contrary.
