HOUSTON, Texas, July 03 /Christian Newswire/ -- ChristiaNet.com, the world's largest Christian portal with twelve million monthly page loads, conducted a new poll by asking the question, "Which belief represents your view?" The participants were given three choices; "I believe in creationism", "I believe God created the world and evolution was His plan" and "I believe in evolution." Bill Cooper, President of ChristiaNet says, "While 99.5% of all respondents agree that God created everything, an interesting pattern developed with those who believe that evolution was part of God's plan."

Out of 1044 participants, 61% percent responded "I believe in creationism" to the poll question. Obviously, all Believers in this group profess God created everything yet a majority of them are dogmatic in their reason why, "Because the Bible says so!" While others took a more logical approach to the question and determined that creationism makes more sense than evolution. As one reader states, "It takes more faith to believe in evolution by random chance than a creator God."

Thirty-eight percent answered "I believe God created the world and evolution was His plan." The consensus with this group is that even though God created everything He uses evolution so His creation can adapt to changes in its environment. One concerned reader said, "I believe evolution was in God's plan, but I don't believe we evolved from monkeys." Cooper states, "From the hundreds of comments received from participants, it is clear that many within the Christian community are ignorant about the true meaning of the Theory of Evolution."

Less than one percent of the Christians polled selected that they believed only in evolution. However, it seems that in each group many Christians are truly ignorant about why they believe what they profess. This creates a significant opportunity for churches to proactively educate their congregations.

To help educate Christians on the true meaning of Evolution, ChristiaNet has just released a series of Free Evolution Tracts. Using the latest interactive ecard technology, ChristiaNet has made it simple to share these funny yet informative ecards with friends and family.
