No contradiction in believing in creationism and in evolution
by Bryce Martin

I have seen this many times over the years. A poll that indicates a high number of Americans believe in creationism and in evolution, and that to have both views is contradictory. Perhaps, and perhaps not.

I have yet to see a poll -- any poll -- that does not bias responses by the wording, placement, or other factors regarding how the question is presented.

Evolution, in its classical sense, is opposed to the creationism concept. But, evolution in the process of change and adaptation over a period of time is easy to understand and is accepted by many creationists and others. This is why so many people say they believe in both, and this is why it is not a contradiction, and this is why the supposed intelligent people who decipher these results are sorely out of touch and ignorant to boot.
