From what I've read, you definitely are not retarded...

It's either you can't type or you have six fingers on each hand and they get in the way!

I assume you are taking a stratified sample considering you are asking o na technology based website which means the majority will most likely favour the science option :p

well, In my university most of the students are muslims. So i m not getting much of a variety in opinions. So i posted it here to see what people from other walks of life/religions think about it. And itz not that i m trying to defend science on the issue of evolution or go against it. My sole interest is to know how today's people view Darwinism along with their spiritual beliefs(if any;yup, i got quite a number of atheists).

Sorry, not going to hand over my email address to a company I've never even heard of. Enough harvesting for spam purposes going on as it is.

Religion is a means of explaining away things you don't understand in terms you do understand.
Once it gets organised it degenerates (or evolves, depends on who you are in the hierarchy) into a means for a few (whom are called priests to stay in generic terms) of controlling the masses through indoctrination and by keeping them unaware of reality.
Thus religion will create supernatural all knowing beings whom are claimed to be in contact with the priest cast, telling on all disgressions from the rules laid down by that priest cast on the general population. This (together with the statement that those rules are dictated by those supernatural beings) provides an easy way for the priesthood to control the population and gives them the power to do pretty much whatever they wish.
In such a system there's no place for scientific development as that would inevitably explain away the "miracles" the priests perform or claim the gods perform by means of logic and scientific evidence.
The denial by religions of evolution is one example of that denial and suppression of science by religion.

And yes, I was raised (semi)religiously but never forced to accept any religion and I didn't.
I will tolerate and respect any religion that tolerates and respects the fact that I don't share its ideals and ideas and don't wish to be the target of their indoctrination campaigns.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
