    Which of the following statements comes closest to your views on
    On WHAT, Shuny? For cryin' out loud, finish the question.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Shuny, while you're bumbling and fumbling in a vain attempt to skirt the issue --- the question remains....

      Do you have something that proves that "45-50+% of the USA identifies themselves with Evangelical Fundamentalist Christianity".

      And, remember - my focus is on your claim "Fundamentalist".

      Perhaps you could start with an explanation of what you think "Fundamentalist" means?

        That is a concerning chart, except for the uptick in the bottom line.

            Believes in a version of a literal interpretation of Genesis, and most of the Bible. Not all Evangelical Christians believe in a literal interpretation. I gave room for versions of Old Earth Creationism

            ~34 - 44 % of the population of the USA believes in a a version of a literal interpretation of the Bible, Consider non-Christians do not believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible the Evangelical Christians that believe in a literal interpretation are the dominate population of Christianity in the USA, and Christianity is not loosing in popularity.

                It's interesting. The "extremes" -- no God at all or no evolution at all -- are increasing rather sharply, while the "moderate" view is decreasing just as sharply.

                  That one worked for me. It's a Gallup poll about human origins. I'm getting a bit lost in this thread, but it appears Shuny is defining "Fundamentalist" purely in terms of that one idea, human origins.

                    Yeah, he's usually on a kick about how racist Southern Baptists are --- I think he had an unhappy childhood.

                      Shuny messed up his link in his post and stuck a colon at the end of the hyperlink. After you click on it, edit the address and remove the colon after "aspx" and it works.

                        Yeah, I figured that out, but then realized how futile it is to try to have a discussion with Shuny. I hereby withdraw my challenge.
