    I have requested the old poll be locked, so if it hasn't yet, it should be soon.

    I am researching the effect of a certain variable, to be disclosed later, on the level of support for evolution. Please vote for the option which most closely matches your beliefs on the evolution of life, including macroevolution.

    Option 1: I believe in a completely naturalistic form of evolution, including macroevolution, without deities. Natural selection was the main driving force.

    Option 2: I believe a deity or deities used evolution, including macroevolution, as a tool to create life, and did not interfere with its progress; in other words, they did not "guide" evolution. Natural selection was the main driving force.

    Option 3: I believe that changes in life forms are guided by a deity ("intelligent design"). I do not believe in natural selection.

    Option 4: I believe in a form of creationism where life forms are static and do not change, but remain as they were created by a deity or deities.
     
    Option 1. No deity. Only natural selection.
     
    Hmmm, I'm not entirely sure, but I think I'll go with Option 3, except for the natural selection part.
    While the original evolution theory does make sense, it all just seems way too improbable to me. Option 3 eliminates this flaw.

    EDIT: I'm an idiot, isn't Option 3 plus natural selection basically Option 2?

    Option 4 that is what I believe in.
     
    Option 1. Of course, I'm not dismissing the probability that there could be a magical trickster in the heavens that just trolled us with this natural selection thing.
     
    Option 4 because, like I said in the previous thread, I believe in Creationism.

    Option 1. And this is coming from someone who grew up in a Christian household, BTW.
     
    Option 1. I completely reject the concept of a deity.
     
    Option 2. See my reasoning in your previous thread and I want to get married >__>
     
    Option 1 is the only one which doesn't require the intervention of a being whose existence has never been proven so I'll go with that.
     
    Option 4 has been thoroughly disproved.. are people still denying evolution? As for me, I have to go with both option 1 and 2. I don't deny the existence of a deity or deities but as of yet I haven't gotten factual evidence that they exist, so I can't go all in with option 2 but I can't discount it by going all in with option 1.
     
    Well, I'd like to ask everyone who hasn't voted to please do so, as the more votes I get, the more confident I can be in my conclusions.
     
    Nearly 50% chose one option out of 4. That may look great, but just remember the audience you are looking at. Most of use are probably in our teen years, with views swayed on very few factors, where if you did a census IRL, you're answers would be swayed as well. So, choose what you believe in. Because, every point can be valid. But the only one you can make sound valid is one you're passionate about.
