>My viewpoint is this: evolution theory is valid. But not quite to the extent that most people caught up in it think.
It's the not case that most people who believe in evolution don't believe God was involved. Here are some results from polls questioning Americans on the matter. In a recent (2004) Gallup poll listed 13% as believing in evolution without God and 38% as believing in evolution guided by God.
Evolution doesn't argue against God's existence, only against creationism, though of course most atheists will make the next step and say it means God is "less neccessary" to our world-view, I'm an atheist and I'd agree with that (though I don't think it is actually in support of God not existing).
At any rate, I don't think the submiter was attacking religious people, he was just saying that since most of his friends are both educated and atheist then he wouldn't know many people in the 39% who believe in creationism/ID (I know educated atheists that aren't totaly sure, but none who actually support creationism/ID).
