[hide=About the survey]

 

~I have designed this survey to find what correlations there are between different beliefs people have.

 

~When I release the final results all names will be kept private.

 

~I plan to make graphs with the data to show percentages and correlations.

 

~This is meant to be a fun way to find out percentages and correlations, so please don't turn this into a flame way.

 

~This survey is allowed by tip.it standards as of now.

 

~The survey will end at midnight on the night of 9/7/07, and I should have the results by the following Sunday 9/9/07.

Your survey is flawed. You have made the mistake of putting two questions into one which could have opposing answers. You should also add a question based on what country people are from as that kind of demographic may also be useful for crosstabbing not just the age.

Interesting concept, but if no one is to reply this thread will be on the second page by day's end :-s

Which question are you referring to?

2. Do you believe in evolution?, be it natural or by god?:

 

 

 

One may be religious yet believe in evolution by natural selection and not evolution by a grand designer.

 

 

 

4. Do you believe in global warming through man made processes? (Do you believe what Al Gore says):

 

 

 

One may believe that global warming increases by man made processes but may disagree with Al Gores opinions on the subject

I've answered your survey.

I'll answer your survey a little later.

There is a demographic based question isn't there?

Yeah that was my bad, I thought it said County which was a bit too specific to do any analysis from when asking on a forum where ppl are all round the world.

I changed the survey a bit, those who have already taken it don't fret, because you basicly took care of it in your post :)

I've answered the survey.

9 submitted surverys so far. :)

 

 

 

I slightly tweaked the survey again just to sort out some confusion for my self.

 

 

 

And I just noticed my inbox was 125% full? Lol. :XD:

 

Cleared it and ready to take new subitted surverys :P

 

 

 

 

 

To any one whose wondering, I'm currently placing all the data into Excel, with column A-L representing the questions, and the rows representing the individual submitted surverys.

 

 

 

Glad to see interest in this :)

Do you believe in natural evolution?

 

Do you believe in evolution by god?

 

 

 

I'm stuck here, anyone believing in evolution by god would also believe it to be natural right? Do you mean perhaps do you believe in evolution without a god for the first? Do you see these as mutually exclusive?

I think natural evolution is evolution without the influence of a god/deity.

 

 

 

Evolution by God would probably mean evolution as viewed commonly (taken place over millions of years), but guided by God. That's a common Catholic viewpoint.

 

 

 

At least, that's what I took them to mean.

Nailed it.

 

 

 

Keep 'em coming.

Nice. I hope you can collect an appropriate amount of data. I think it's a bit short though. You could have incorporated more topics. Also i feel some questions should be more precise. For example:

 

 

 

Do you believe in the theory of evolution

 

Do you believe in god (i'd prefer do you believe in a god like the christian/jewish/muslemic one. or maybe even better: do you believe in god as opposed to some higher energy)

 

Al Gore said: "...."; do you believe this to be true.

 

What is the highest level of education you have?

 

 

 

and so on.

Not "giving them" what Al Gore said was done on purpose :wink:

 

Do you believe in god, is a given usually according to how they answer other questions :)

 

 

 

 

 

Keep 'em coming.

I'll take it, but I might only put in basics. I'm not really going into much detail.

It's a pretty basic survey :wink:

:thumbsup:

 

 

 

 

 

Need more people :|

I did it. Sorry for my long answer for the last question.

 

 

 

Hopefully more people will take this.

 

 

 

For your entertainment, a story of today.

 

 

 

Today there was a drama club meeting and we had position elections, I ran for Sophmore Officer against 2 others. Our drama club has ~50 people in it, so it's pretty big. My only platform was: "If you vote for me, I promise a reign of terror".

 

 

 

 

 

I won. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: I also bought new headphones, I read the warnings and I qoute: "When using headphones in dry air, such as in winter, you might experience static shock". I sure feel safe :uhh:

Here are a few more issues with the survey.

 

 

 

1. Forthcoming literally means "approaching" so question 2.6 doesn't make sense.

 

2. Al Gore says a lot of things about global warming... How can one possibly agree with all of his ideas, let alone remember all of them? And how does this relate to religion?

 

3. Why are you asking the speed of light? Is this related to religion or is it just there to lower one's self-esteem?

 

4. Science class? I'm not sure how this relates. However, a better question might be: "How far are you in your education, and what specialized science classes have you taken, if any?"

 

 

 

You're survey is too vague and seems to be targeted towards the Christian religion.

 

 

 

Christianity is known for having churches around the world, a monotheistic belief of God, a disbelief of natural evolution, and a notoriously adamant opinion on global warming (in that it is generally not caused by man). In reality, a different religion may have an entirely different set of beliefs and therefore warrants a different set of questions. Even Christian denominations may have different teachings on these subjects.

 

 

 

Also, might I ask, why can we not post our results? I'd be interested to see what people have to say to these questions. :)

1. Comingforth can be used as a noun meaning an appearance in time. So the forthcoming of humans would relate to humans appearing on Earth.

 

2. My question of Al Gore refers to his radicalness on the topic of global warming, which is what most people assumed. It doesn't necessarily relate to religion, that is infact why I'm conducting this survey, to test for correlations....

 

3. Again, correlations.

 

4. ...You guessed it, correlations.

 

 

 

Thats basically the point.

 

 

 

Because some people might not want to reveal their answers, if your comfortable with it, go ahead. But I also didn't want to have to search through the thread to find peoples answers. So if your going to post your answers, I ask that you still PM them to me.

1. What religion are you by birth? Christian

 

1.5 What religion are you by choice? Atheist

 

2. Do you believe in natural evolution? Yes

 

2.3 Do you believe in evolution by god? No

 

2.6 If no to the above, what do you believe was the forth coming of humans? I don't care, I'll live my life and just die without caring.

 

3. How old are you? I'm 14 years old

 

4. Do you believe in global warming through man made processes? It's possible but I'm only sure for 50

 

4.5 Do you believe what Al Gore says? No.

 

5. What is the speed of light? 299 792 456 Meters per second? (Could be wrong at the last numbers)

 

6. What country do you live in? Belgium

 

7. Do you go to church regularly? Never

 

8. What is your background in science? None, other education system.

 

 

 

There you go.

10 minutes left to submit -.-
