This is a somewhat unconventional poll — the site lets you vote on issues, and they've set up one as creation vs. evolution. Vote for one or the other!
Creationism
Â
The religious belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their original form by a deity.Â
Evolution
Â
A changes in the inherited traits of a population of organisms from one generation to the next. First published by a scientist Charles Darwin.
This poll has been up since March, and it tracks votes with a chart — maybe we can put a big downward glitch in the line.
