Does the devil change the results of surveys?

Question

I read this blasphemy the other day...

"A 1991 Gallup survey found that college graduates were less than half as likely to believe in creationism as those lacking a high school diploma. Likewise, those with an income greater than $50,000 per year were half as likely to be creationists as those with an income under $20,000. In 1997 Gallup reported that only 5 percent of scientists believed in creationism"

My sunday school teacher, Mr. Hooper, said that the devil made the people who conducted the poll change the answers to make us Christians look bad.

Answer 1

how old are you? it is not the devil that changed the results of the pole. it may really be true that richer people may less likely to believe in creationism because they can afford to read more books that is the opposite of our beliefs and the poorer people believed more to Christ because they go to him more often than rich people because rich people need less.

Answer 2

I don't think they changed the answers. But I don't agree with the implications that people who believe in Creationism are less intelligent than those who don't. I think the reason for those results is that most colleges teach Evolution, and not creationism...and a lot of people just don't question what they're taught (whether it is Evolution or Creationism). Someone without a high school diploma may just be less likely to have ever had their faith challenged then someone who has been through college and been exposed to different ideas.

Dispite the fact that many Universities discredit creationism, there are many, many college educated people who believe in it--myself included.

Answer 3

It could be but in regards to what Mr, Hopper and the Gallup pole don;t take notice because I will tell you something that will shatter the Galop pole, Albert Einstein the greatest modern ,mind of our times and the creator of the theory of realativity said The more I learn from science and math, the more I believe in God

Answer 4

Plenty of educated Christians who love and honor God don’t believe that creation happened as told in the Genesis story. That doesn’t make us any less Christian or mean that the devil has our minds. I have prayed about this a lot so that I don’t mislead anybody. The Spirit has led me to plenty of sources that show how one can accept current scientific findings and still be a person of Faith.

My advice: don’t turn to your Sunday School teacher for scientific information and don’t turn to you science teacher for information about religion.

Answer 5

Here's some first hand experience. My dad works with phD's at the LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) and he's found out that the scientist are religious much more then not, because they see how perfectly our world is created. Surveys aren't messed up by the devil, but by the people who create them with biased opinions on how to prove a point.

Answer 6

I highly doubt that. However, the Bible says, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get to Heaven."

In addition, the evidence for Evolution has been disappearing recently and a lot more scientists have been turning to Intelligent Design. They are a force to be reckoned with now.

Answer 7

Yes, its true. The polls show that Bush has a 39% approval rating but it is a lie created by the devil. In reality 99% per cent of the people in the US approve of Bush.

Answer 9

Seeing as how I believe in God, but not in religion, I don't think I can help you, but let me point out something. Why do Christians always blame the devil for everything?

Answer 10

Nope, no devil there. Simply says that the smarter you are, the less you believe the Christian mythology. But there are always exceptions, this only shows the trend.
