What makes this figure surprising is that it is up from 46% in 1994.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The number of non-Darwinists is rising!

A double irony is that it derives from their own theory: if people differ in the strength or conviction of their religious beliefs, if children tend to acquire religious beliefs from their parents, and if religious people, for whatever set of reasons, tend to have more children, then it follows from Darwin&#8217;s theory of evolution by natural selection that religious belief will spread: quod erat demonstrandum.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"> Indeed.  Even if ID were not true, I pointed out why <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Resistance_is_futile\">resistance is futile<\/a> for the Darwinists attempting to stop the onslaught of ID.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">= = = = = = = = = = = = = =<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The clear and simple point: Evolutionists will die out because the don&#8217;t have many children and don&#8217;t care about having big families like those who are religious do. I would love to see some statistics from the current data for how long it would take for Evolutionists to die out and Creationists to be the only ones left.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Enjoy that thought today and may all Christians know of God&#8217;s blessing for the family with many children!<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Psalm 127:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><span class=\"verse-num\" id=\"v19127003-1\"><strong>3<\/strong> <\/span>Behold, children are a heritage  from the <span class=\"small-caps\">Lord<\/span>,<br \/>\n<span class=\"indent\"><\/span>the  fruit of the womb a reward.<br \/>\n<span class=\"verse-num\" id=\"v19127004-1\"><strong>4<\/strong> <\/span>Like arrows in the hand of a warrior<br \/>\n<span class=\"indent\"><\/span>are the children<span class=\"footnote\"> <\/span>of one&#8217;s youth.<br \/>\n<span class=\"verse-num\" id=\"v19127005-1\"><strong>5<\/strong> <\/span>Blessed is the man<br \/>\n<span class=\"indent\"><\/span>who fills his quiver with them!<br \/>\nHe shall not be put to  shame<br \/>\n<span class=\"indent\"><\/span>when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever thought about this?
