Reply #61: Where is your sense of humor?

You've projected your opinion that all catholics hold a belief that isn't part of church doctrine and then attempt to support your opinion by a poll that demonstrates less than half hold that belief.

The fact the catholics use birth control does not support your argument. It demonstrates that they do choose what doctrines they will follow. Absent a doctrine, there is no support to claim they would as a majority support YEC or not support YEC. The poll states the higher the educational level the less the belief in YEC. The same would hold true for birth control, my projection on that subject is the higher the educational level the more the use of birth control. That's just my opinion.

As a total of those catholics polled, less than 43% believe in YEC, that number is dependent on the question asked.

From the Baltimore Catechism: Q. Who made the world? A. God made the world. Put in this context, it would make sense that catholics would answer, god made the world. It's exactly how the question is asked and answered. A good poller would know that.

In support of your claim that a majority of catholics believe in YEC, the evidence of the poll does not support your claim. 43<50

Your frustration at this point is noted. As this makes three people who have tried to have a civil discussion on this topic with you, it may be a reasonable idea to reconsider your basis for the opinion you're presenting.

Personal attacks couched in your responses are also noted.
