It makes me so angry that our children are deliberately taught to believe in
garbage that doesn't exist. I will never stop believing that the religious
indoctrination of children should be a crime. Punishable by prison time, and
complete loss of guardianship of any minor children.

Quite simple answer .....No. In fact the exact reverse, man created god or gods not the other way round,

Gods didn't create humans, humans created gods.

That so many still believe in the myths of religion, is the evidence of the power of brain washing. When a child is exposed to that crap, told over, and over that if they don't believe, then they are bad and sinful.. ...that is truly evil...

Rather then answer that, how about "God created cancer, still born children, storms that kill thousands, ants at a picnic, and my favorite...... masturbation........ yippeeee.

Humans created God. Kind of a no brainer!

No creo en Dios!

It kinda depends on what you definition of 'God' is......

It's a study of university students, though. I do think that the trend would be similar in the wider Australian population, but not as dramatic.

Why would a most perfect God, create the most imperfect, bloody, stinky world ? If he liked it, why break it ? And if he didn't like it, why make it ?

Current status:

Evidence for evolution = 100%
Evidence for God = 0

Says it all really!

If Genesis 2:7 is demonstrably false, as science indicates, and we are merely intelligent apes, then why invoke a God as a solution to the cosmogony. Adding the spectre of God detracts rather than enhances the intellectual prospects of investigative research.

God has always been nothing more than a premature period (i.e., full stop)!

Progress is being made! Yay!!!?

Interesting numbers. It has been suggested that the same is beginning here in the US. We can but hope.

good on the aussies for this!

Who made the God?

Humans created gods. Just look at the variety. Several for each tribe, each geology.

I haven't a clue.

Since there is zero, nine, zilch, nada, kapoot evidence that any god(s) exist, then there is no god(s) that could have created ANYTHING.

Still too low in my opinion (the number of students that trust science), considering that this is a settled issue.

Anyone who believes in that nonsense after getting a real education and living on the planet for 30-40 years is either stupid or living an unexamined life.

I think the aliens designed us I'll second the other poster on that.....

No, but definitely create gods. It was the answer to the observable before we added the structure of the scientific method to the observable.

Everyone is smarter than USA. When Islam decides it's crap, we are more than left behind. Wouldn't surprise me if that happened.

if he did it, he had a lot of work hiding the evidences, placing fossils with exact time and place where they should be if it occurred naturally from evolution, including DNA marks and obeying expected mutation accumulation over time.
Also he was very lazy on creating optimal solutions and adapted old solutions in the same way as evolution would do (like our optic nerve going all the way down to the neck and then rising to the brain instead of connecting direct).
But who knows god? he can be the biggest prankster of them all.

Do you think people can believe in both creationism and evolution? Is there a separate word for that that isn't completely creationist or evolutionist? That a universe can be created and then when put in motion it can have actions, reactions, and interactions that evolve.

If evolution was taught better we would have more atheists
