Those were not the three "options," moron. Apparently, you are too stupid/dishonest to maintain a discussion in context. You screwed up and quoted a point made in reference to a different poll, but you are still wrong.

15% said God played no part in the process of human creation. How many of those do you think are believers? My guess, is less than 1%. 46% said God created humans in their present form less than 10000 years ago, 32% said God guided the evolutionary process. Let's go ahead and assume the other 7% (unaccounted) are believers. That still means over half of the believers stated that God created humans in their present form less than 10,000 years ago. That absolutely implies young earth creationism. But it is not even close to the only thing I supplied in countering your ridiculous assertion that only a TINY percentage believe in young earth creationism.

You are a dishonest fool who desperately attempts to make the data fit your unsupported assertions.

Might as well quit while you're ahead Baxter. I've been down this road before. PiMP's just going to play ring around the rosey on a subject he knows next to nothing about. You're just waisting your time.

except that it doesn't........I would have to select that as the option closest to what I believe because I reject the other two as believing humans are the result of evolution from some other species......but I don't believe it happened 10,000 years ago......what percentage of those polled believe what I believe?.....

It does. The theistic evolution answer does not say anything about another species. You could have also answered as the 7% unaccounted for must have.

Besides that you fail to address the many other sources that show it is not a tiny percentage.

You are an idiot.

Court Strikes Down New Hampshire’s Tax-Money-For-Religious-Schools Law

June 18, 2013 By Terry Firma


On Monday, New Hampshire was the scene of a state court verdict (PDF) that struck down a recent law allowing tax dollars to flow into religious schools:

The program provided a large tax credit to businesses that contributed to scholarship organizations that paid for tuition at private schools. Though the program was purportedly designed to expand educational opportunities, Justice John M. Lewis held that the program violated the state’s constitution because it had the effect of diverting public funds to religious schools.

​
“New Hampshire students, and their parents, certainly have the right to choose a religious education,” the Stafford County Superior Court judge wrote in the ruling.

“However, the government is under no obligation to fund religious education. Indeed, the government is expressly forbidden from doing so by the very language of the New Hampshire Constitution.”

​
With that phrase, Lewis was referring to the Blaine Amendment that is enshrined in the Constitution of no fewer than 39 states, including his.
The amendment has a pretty fascinating genesis.


In the 1870s, Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States, frequently expressed his commitment to keeping tax money out of religious education. In fulsome tones, Grant praised the separation of church and state, and attacked the idea of government support for “sectarian schools” run by religious organizations.

the religious right will never give up its fight for tax dollars for religious schools.

and the wealthy will never give up their fight for tax dollars to send their children to private schools.

not only are the repugs fighting for tax dollars for religious and private schools, but they are doing their best to undermine public schools.
