Hi,

I'm debating another cretinist at a board and I am trying to ascertian some information which may already be to hand for one of you:

the question is, how many of the main religions endorse (or even passively accept) TOE?

Also, what are the religions which resolutely defend creationism and insist on it as an article of faith?

The reason I ask is that when I attacked creationists he immediately responded by claiming that I had attacked christianity. I responded by saying that the vast majority of christians accept the theory, so my attack on creationism was not attacking a belief that is inherent to christianity.

This came up in one of davidH's threads, and someone came up with just the goods you seek. Now, where was it...

Well it's only the US, but <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/evolutionviews990816.html" target="_blank">this</a> suggests that the churches are somewhat out of step with their congregations.
