This just happened according to evolution.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7
How smart are Americans when it comes to science? That’s what the National Science Foundation attempts to find out every two years. The results of their 2014 survey – which included more than 2,200 adults – gave Americans a rather poor grade. But are Americans really less knowledgeable about science or is the NSF’s survey biased against the many Bible-believing Christians in America? Let’s take a look.
While the survey included such questions as “Does the Earth go around the Sun or does the Sun go around the Earth?”, the survey also included questions like: “True or false: the universe began with a huge explosion.” And true or false: “Human beings, as we know them today, developed from earlier species of animals.” For people who believe what the Bible has to say, their answers were scored as “wrong” by the NSF survey.
Interestingly, more than 60 percent of Americans gave the so-called “wrong” answers to these questions. They simply do not accept the Big Bang theory despite what they were taught in school. And more than 50 percent of Americans disagreed with the NSF when it comes to evolution. According to the Atlantic Online, “This seems to indicate that many Americans are familiar with the theories of evolution and the Big Bang; they simply don’t believe they’re true.”
What the unbelieving world views as right is often wrong in light of what God tells us in the Bible. For Christians, the Bible is the ultimate authority – not what we’re told by Bible-denying evolutionists.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I pray that You will strengthen me whenever I am pressured by the world to choose wrong over right. Make me be willing to be thought a fool in the world’s eyes. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Bee-eaters are so beautiful wherever they come from, and this one is no exception. The quest for creation continues, as the evolutionists cowardly hide the truth, or should I say untruth that has been uncovered from their research over the years. Philosophy and Science are not good bedfellows.

I remember reading about this survey a while back. To me, I think the question delivery was a bit loaded (i.e. providing only True or False as the exclusive answer choices). Science has grey areas just as the Arts and Humanities do, meaning there are still unanswered questions or uncovered facts. If the NSF really wanted to make things interesting, they should have allowed for participants to provide an explanation as to why they selected True or False to such questions rather than just label people “wrong” or “right” by their choices. I, for one, would have been curious to see what people wrote in their defense, especially persons who do not come from a Judeo-Christian background yet do not accept the Big Bang theory and/or evolution as fact. Thanks for sharing!

Good questions. Christians are definitely being marginalized. Thanks for commenting.
