Pro-evolution Wikipedia has a shrinking base of editors plus Quora is Wikipedia's worst nightmare

Wikipedia in terms of web traffic is among the top promoters of evolutionary belief and pro-atheism ideology. The website was founded by the atheist Jimmy Wales and the agnostic Larry Sanger. In the last two weeks, there were articles indicating that Wikipedia has a shrinking base of editors and that a serious challenger to their website has arisen.

Since Wikipedia ranks #1 at Google for so many search queries, this is another indication that atheism and evolutionism are losing influence on the internet outreach front (see: Internet atheism: The thrill is gone).

Below are two recent articles on Wikipedia:

Richard Dawkins website and other evolution/atheism websites have lost significant traffic in the last 5 years. On the other hand, you can see by the resources that I provided above that biblical Christianity is rapidly expanding on the internet and there are ambitious plans for its future expansion.  Like I demonstrated before, when it comes to promoting atheism and evolutionism on the internet - the thrill is gone!

A former atheist and homicide detective is not buying evolutionists' alibis on why they cannot answer the 15 questions for evolutionists

J. Warner Wallace, a former atheist and homicide detective, has just subscribed to our Question Evolution! Campaign blog Twitter feed. Apparently, he does not buy the evolutionists' alibis on why they cannot satisfactorily answer the 15 questions for evolutionists in our debates with them. You're busted evolutionists. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

Mr. Wallace is also a Christian apologist. He belongs to the evidentialists school of Christian apologetics and he is a member of the ministry Pleaseconvince.com.

You be the judge if evolutionary belief can withstand cross-examination. Watch the videos below.

By the way evolutionists, we are at the initial stage of the third phase of the Question Evolution! Campaign which is the widespread dissemination phase. We put out an all points bulletin on evolutionist lies. We are going to be in hot pursuit of evolutionist liars! There is no escaping the long arm of the Question Evolution! Campaign. We always get our man!

13 recent grim events for Darwinism that should give every Darwinist nightmares

If you haven't read our collection of key articles, we encourage you to do so ask they amply document the below 13+ recent grim events for Darwinism, atheism and agnosticism listed below. The articles can be found at our resource: Comprehensive look at the decline of evolutionism, atheism and agnosticism and the rise of global Christianity and creationism

Baylor University did a study showing that irreligious people and theologically liberal people were significantly more superstitious than evangelical Christians. Another study also confirmed this matter. You can read about this matter in the Wall Street Journal article: Look Who's irrational now

In addition, atheists, agnostics and theologically liberal individuals are significantly more likely to believe in evolution.

Since I am a Bible believing young earth creationists, it should came as no surprise to people that I personally don't have a superstitious bone in my body. I could break mirrors and walk under ladders all day long and not break a sweat.

Yet, no matter how hard I try to convince atheists, agnostics and Darwinists not to be superstitious, I know it is going to happen many times anyways.

With the superstitiousness of Darwinists in mind, below are 13+ very "unlucky omens" that Darwinism is doomed and all the rabbit's foots, four-leaf clovers and horseshoes in the world are not going to change this fact.

13+ recent grim events relevant to Darwinism

1. The best evidence points to global atheism and agnosticism shrinking in the world while global Christianity and creationism is seeing significant growth. Theologically liberal churches are shrinking while many theologically conservative churches are growing

2. Creationism has recently grown in the United States according to a Gallup Inc. survey. Recently, evolution unfriendly laws have been passed in the United States. Theologically conservative Bible clubs are proliferating across the United States at a rapid rate and creationists will certainly make alliances with them. This could spread around the world.

3. Theologically conservative Christianity and creationism is growing quickly in various Western nations, in Latin America, in Asia and in Africa.

4, The shrinking of global atheism/agnosticism will affect Western agnosticism/atheism in an age of globalization (immigration, global communication and travel, etc.)

5. The decline of global atheism/agnosticism is expected to accelerate.

6. Evangelical Christians are making rapid advances in internet evangelism (Global Media Outreach in 2011 did 149 million gospel presentation via the internet). Prominent atheist websites have seen big drops in traffic in the last 5 years.

7. Christian creation evangelists are communicating with their internet evangelism brethren with a goal of dramatically increasing creation evangelism on the internet and through offline methods. In addition, a plan has been developed to help accelerate the global decline of atheism/agnosticism and the continued rapid growth of global Christianity and creationism. Atheists and agnostics have no plan to reverse their global decline in adherents.

8. Georgetown University study indicating that merely 30% of individuals raised by atheists remain atheists

9. In the general population, a recent study suggests that most people believe in evolution based on a "gut feeling". On the other hand, Christianity has an abundant amount of excellent evidence supporting it. See: Evidence for Christianity

10.  After experiencing Darwinist harassment in the recent past, creationists who are growing in power (due to higher fertility rates, immigration and evangelism) will pull the plug on evolutionism being promoted in public schools. In addition, in an era of many governments being strapped for cash, more and more primary, secondary and higher education schools will be privatized and many of these schools will be run by religious organizations. In addition, given that private schools are on average less costly to run, there will be more vouchers and charter schools which will increase religious schooling hostile to Darwinism. Also, many schools will have less funds to launch frivolous lawsuits against creationist students.

11. China which has the largest population of atheists is seeing an explosive growth of Christianity in the both the countryside and in urban centers

12. European creationism is growing and secular Europe is having significant economic problems and could turn to God for answers

13. Creation scientists tend to win the creation vs. evolution debates.  Evolutionists are unable to satisfactorily the 15 questions for evolutionists of the Question Evolution! Campaign.

What does the historical record say about how fast secularism can collapse in countries?

Three important questions:

1. What does the historical record tell us about how fast secularism can collapse in societies?

2. Is there a global resurgence of religion?

3. What are the 13+ recent grim events relating to Darwinism, atheism and agnosticism  that should give every militant Darwinist nightmares?

In 2003, the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University published a paper by Assaf Moghadam entitled A Global Resurgence of Religion? The paper declared that there was "ample evidence" that the argument of a global resurgence of religion could largely be sustained.

Demography of religion scholars Eric Kaufmann, Dr. Todd M. Johnson and the Pew Forum concur that there is a global resurgence of religion.

Not a pretty picture for Darwinism, atheism, agnosticism and theologically liberal religion is it? Secularism could certainly collapse in coming years, couldn't it?

So how fast could secularism collapse in various countries and in the world?

Historical examination the collapse of secularism in Russia and Eastern Europe

As noted previously, in 2003 the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard published a paper by Assaf Moghadam entitled A Global Resurgence of Religion?

In that paper Assaf Moghadam wrote:
As the indications leave little doubt, Russia is showing clear signs of a religious resurgence. In fact, all seven criteria by which change in religious behavior and values are measured here confirmed that Russia is experiencing what could be called a religious revival. Since 1970, the nonreligious/atheist population has been on steady decline, from 52% in 1970 to 33% in 2000. Further, the percentage of this population is projected to decrease even further, possibly reaching the 20% mark in 2025. Between 1990 and 1997, belief in God has risen from 35% to a whopping 60%, while belief in the importance of God has climbed to 43% in 1997, up from 25% in 1990. More people have been raised religious in Russia in 1997 (20%) than at the beginning of the decade (18%), and 8.39% more Russians believed religion to be important toward the end of the 1990s, when compared to 1990. “Comfort in Religion” has also sharply increased within this time period, from less than 27% to over 46%. Finally, more and more Russians attend church services more regularly in 1997 than they did in 1990.

In the three Eastern European countries that were included in the WVS survey on belief in God, a drastic rise could be witnessed of respondents who answered this question in the affirmative. In Hungary, the percentage of believers in God jumped from 44% to 58% from 1981 to 1990, even prior to the collapse of the former Soviet Union. In Belarus, the number of people who believe in God nearly doubled over the course of the 1990s, from 36% to 68%, while in Latvia this figure almost quadrupled, from 18% to 67% in the same time period. Similar trends held true when it came to the importance of God, where there was a sharp rise in all three countries.
What is less fragile than secularism? Eggs or vases perhaps?

Scholarship relating to global atheism and agnosticism shrinking and the growth of Christianity plus additional related information

On August 11, 2012, I wrote an article entitled: Globally the worldviews of atheism and non-religious (agnostic) are declining while global Christianity is exploding in adherents

This post is for the purpose of recommending a few books relating to the status of global Christianity and global atheism/agnosticism. In addition, I am going to provide some additional information relating to the methodology of some of the research.

In 2012, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (GCTS) reported that every day there are 800 less atheists per day, 1,100 less non-religious (agnostic) people per day and 83,000 more people professing to be Christians per day (see: Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary - status of Global Mission report).

Dr. Todd Johnson is the Director of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity (CSGC) which is located at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (GCTS).

A brief biography at the  Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (GCTS) website indicates:
Dr. Todd Johnson is the Associate Professor of Global Christianity and the Director of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity (CSGC), Dr. Johnson researches the status of Christianity and world religions in every people, language, country and city. While under his leadership, the Center’s statistics have been frequently quoted in the media (recently ABC, BBC, Associated Press, New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Economist).

Dr. Johnson is widely accomplished in the demographic study of Christianity and world religions. His Ph.D. work in developing quantitative tools to analyze the past, present and future of global Christianity has been put to fruitful use throughout his career, both at Gordon-Conwell and elsewhere. He is currently the editor of the World Christian Database (Brill 2007) located at www.worldchristiandatabase.org, which provides statistical information on Christianity worldwide.

Dr. Johnson is visiting Research Fellow at the Institute on Culture, Religion, and World Affairs at Boston University. He co-leads the International Religious Demography project and is co-editor of the World Religion Database (Brill 2008) at wwww.worldreligiondatabase.org.

Dr. Johnson has also worked in numerous ecclesiastical posts relating to missions and evangelization. He is a member of the Lausanne Strategy Working Group as well as the Missions Commission of the World Evangelical Alliance.
Methodology of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (GCTS) reports

If anyone wants to know the methodology of GCTS in terms of their work indicating that global atheism/agnosticism shrinking and that global Christianity is expanding, it is available in the book Atlas of Global Christianity which was published in 2009. In addition, you can examine the book World Christian trends, AD 30-AD 2200 : interpreting the annual Christian megacensus authored by David B Barrett, Todd M Johnson, Christopher R Guidry and Peter F Crossing.

Niles Tomes in his article GLOBAL ATHEISM ON THE RISE--REALLY? wrote: "The World Christian/Religions Database (WCD) has been collecting data for decades on religious; non-religious affiliation for all the world’s countries. They pool all the relevant survey data from all available sources...".

The MacroDataGuide which is an international Social Science Resource reports concerning the WCD:
Mainly demographic data on religious groups and denominations, based on a variety of sources: statistical questionnaires returned by churches and other organisations, field surveys and interviews, various published and unpublished documents, and national censuses...

The data were initially collected to be used by religious leaders and others involved in Christian missionary efforts (Grim and Finke 2006: 4; Hsu et al. 2007: 4), but they are also widely used by journalists and scholars (e.g., Grim and Finke 2007; Warf and Vincent 2007). The database is currently published by Brill, an international academic publisher.
In December of 2008, an academic paper evaluating the WCD was published in Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion which was entitled Estimating the Religious Composition of All Nations: An Empirical Assessment of the World Christian Database (Authors: BECKY HSU; AMY REYNOLDS; CONRAD HACKETT;  JAMES GIBBON. Source: , Volume 47, Number 4, December 2008 , pp. 678-693(16)). A synopsis of the abstract of the journal article: "Religious composition estimates in the WCD are generally plausible and consistent with other data sets. The WCD also includes comprehensive nonreligious data."


Other information relating to global atheism and agnosticism declining

The International Bulletin of Missionary Research (IBMR) publishes information gained from GCTS and probably other sources as well.

In 2012 an article entitled  Atheism in decline by Nigel Tomes declared:
The IBMR publishes yearly figures for religions (and non religions) around the globe. Their latest numbers, hot off the press (Jan. 2012) show some interesting trends.

1. Atheism is in Decline
In 1970 atheists (those avowing there is no God) numbered 166 million worldwide; that was almost one-in-twenty—4.5% of the globe’s population. By 2012 atheists’ number is estimated at 137 million. That’s a decline of almost 30 million. Since world population is growing, atheists’ share declined to less than one-in-fifty—under 2% in 2012. Put differently, every 24 hours there are 800 fewer atheists in the world! Atheism is in decline.
2. Agnosticism is in Decline
In 2000 agnostics (those who “don’t know” if there is a God) numbered 666 million, 10.9% of the world’s people. By 2012 agnostic’s number is estimated at 661 million--a decline of 5 million. In relative terms by 2012 agnostics represent less than one tenth (9.4%) of world population. Every 24 hours there are 1,100 less agnostics in the world. Agnostics are also in decline.
Added together these two groups make up a declining share of global population. In 1970 atheists and agnostics accounted for one-in-five (19.2%) of the world’s people. Based on current trends by 2025 they will represent less than one-in-ten (9.7%). Their population share will fall by half in 50+ years.

We encourage you to examine the entire 2012 article by Nigel Tomes entitled
Atheism in decline as it has some encouraging news about the growth of global Christianity.

Also, please see our previous post on Christian theological conservatism and religious conservatism growing in the world while the decline of global atheism is expected to accelerate: Why are 2012 and 2020 key years for Christian creationists and pro-lifers?

Global market share declining and atheistic societies and birth rates

The Birkbeck College, University of London professor Eric Kaufmann using a multitude of demographic studies argues in an academic paper entitled Shall the Righteous Inherit the Earth? Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century the decline of atheism in terms of its global adherents is an established trend that will persist for the foreseeable future and the rate of decline will accelerate and affect the Western World. See: Why are the years 2012 and 2020 key years for Christian creationists and pro-lifers?

Also, for those who are interested in knowing more about Professor Eric Kaufmann's work on this matter, he also published a book titled Shall the righteous inherit the earth

In 2009, the book A sceptics guide to atheism indicated: "A worldwide poll taken in 1991 put the global figure for atheists at just 4.4% of the population. By 2006 it was estimated that only 2% of the world population were atheists."

Michael Blume, a researcher at the University of Jena in Germany, wrote "Most societies or communities that have espoused atheistic beliefs have not survived more than a century." Blume also indicated concerning concerning his research on this matter: "What I found was the complete lack of a single case of a secular population, community or movement that would just manage to retain replacement level."

Investigator Magazine had an interesting article published in 1990 entitled 2,000 years of Christian Increase which indicated that historically the percentage of the world population professing Christianity has been increasing.

New Atheism reported to have little to no effect on atheism evangelism

New Atheism is a new form of militant atheism which started in the period between 2004 and 2007. The New Atheism movement has not had much of an impact in terms of gaining new adherents to atheism. In a March 10, 2008 USA Today article Stephen Prothero wrote:

Numbers lie, but they also tell tales untrustworthy and otherwise. So the key question stirring around the much discussed U.S Religious Landscape Survey released in late February by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life is what tale does it state about the state of the union.

For some, the story of this survey, based on interviews in multiple languages with more than 35,000 adults, is the strength of American Religion.

Not too long ago, I wrote that American atheism was going the way of the freak show. As books by Christopher Hitchens and other "new atheists" climbed the best seller lists, I caught a lot of flak for that prophecy. But atheist make up only 1.6% of respondents to this survey....

Grassroots biblical creationism vs. state evolutionism and state atheism. Which is stronger?

Michael Ruse, an atheist and evolutionist science philosopher declared: “Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today.” -

Given that many children are force fed the atheistic religion of evolutionism in public schools, I thought I would share some related information and let you judge for yourself on how sustainable state atheism/evolutionism will be against grassroots efforts such as the Question Evolution! Campaign and its 15 questions for evolutionists.

Below is an excerpt from an interesting article by Paul Froese entitled Forced Secularization in Soviet Russia: Why an Atheistic Monopoly Failed that I thought I would share with our readers:
Atheists waged a 70-year war on religious belief in the Soviet Union. The Communist Party destroyed churches, mosques, and temples; it executed religious leaders; it flooded the schools and media with anti-religious propaganda; and it introduced a belief system called “scientific atheism,” complete with atheist rituals, proselytizers, and a promise of worldly salvation. But in the end, a majority of older Soviet citizens retained their religious beliefs and a crop of citizens
too young to have experienced pre-Soviet times acquired religious beliefs. This article seeks to explain why atheists, with the full support of a totalitarian state, were unsuccessful in secularizing Russian society.

I encourage you to read the whole article plus I offer a few other resources which are related:

In 2011, the results of a study was published indicating that most United States high school biology teachers are reluctant to endorse the theory of evolution in class.

In June of 2012, a Gallup survey was released indicating that creationism was recently rising in the United States. In addition, in recent times there has been a number of anti-evolutionism bills passed in state legislatures.

Are the atheist, agnostic and evolutionist communities lacking in innovativeness and powerful ideas?

Are the atheist, agnostic and evolutionist communities pushing a bunch of drab and faulty ideas? Also, do they promote these ideas in an uncreative manner aided by the secular media whose market share is slipping?

Given their inability to satisfactorily answer the 15 questions for evolutionists of the Question Evolution! Campaign and the various evidences for Christianity, we know they have faulty ideas.

I wrote an article entitled More proof and evidence that atheists and/or evolutionists are media hyped windbags who spout drivel which began to explore these issues and I encourage you to read it.

On June 20, 2012 the website God Discussions published an article entitled Richard Dawkins Foundation launches beta website to promote secular values

The God Discussion article declared:
When it comes to separation of church and state issues and promoting reason over religious dogma, the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science's new website, Innovating for a secular world, promises to deliver a powerful punch for activists and those interested in learning more about the issues.

Is the website "Innovating for a secular world" defunct?

I clicked the link for the website "Innovating for a secular world" given in the God Discussion article and the website seems to have disappeared (if the website moved there was no URL redirect). I also tried to find the website via Richard Dawkins main website where it used to be prominently featured and I couldn't find it. If the website exist anymore, I would like to know where.

Richard Dawkins, the New Atheism and American atheism

New Atheism is a new form of militant atheism which started in the period between 2004 and 2007. Richard Dawkins was one of the most prominent founders of this movement. The New Atheism movement has not had much of an impact in terms of gaining new adherents to atheism. In a March 10, 2008 USA Today article Stephen Prothero wrote:
Numbers lie, but they also tell tales untrustworthy and otherwise. So the key question stirring around the much discussed U.S Religious Landscape Survey released in late February by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life is what tale does it state about the state of the union.

Also, below is the web traffic of the main website of Richard Dawkins:



Some questions

1. If the website "Innovating for a secular world" which promised to deliver a powerful punch disappeared, does this mean that Richard Dawkins is not innovative?

2. Did Richard Dawkins ever have a powerful punch?

3. If he had a powerful punch, has he lost it?

4. Since Richard Dawkins is a prominent spokesperson of evolutionary belief relative to other evolutionists, does this mean that atheists, agnostics and evolutionists aren't very innovative?

More proof and evidence that atheists and/or evolutionists are media hyped windbags who spout drivel

The Media Research Center released a study in 2008 reporting a pro-atheism bias by major press outlets in the United States. Below is a video of that report.

Here is more proof and evidence that Richard Dawkins is a media hyped windbag who spouts out meaningless drivel:

Atheism and agnosticism has too many eggs in the secular left media basket

This is definitely not good news as the liberal media outlets such as newspapers are losing their audience. In addition, the effects of the global economy slowing down and the economic and political changes it will bring, will push the meaningless media hyped proclamations of atheists/evolutionists farther down in priority. No doubt Richard Dawkins is finding it harder to get press coverage in the current environment.

Atheists and evolutionists, you shouldn't have had so many eggs in the secular left media basket!

Combating evolutionary indoctrination in schools and reaching more young people with biblical creation

Since combating the evolutionary indoctrination of young people in schools will be an extremely important component of the Question Evolution! Campaign and its 15 questions for evolutionists, I thought I would organize the articles in a post so people can more readily refer to these articles.

Anti-evolution religious private schooling and homeschooling will see big growth worldwide

Important questions:

1. Will voucher programs and tax credits for biblical creation friendly religious schools rapidly proliferate in the United States, Canada, Europe, other Western countries and worldwide?

2. Will biblical creation friendly homeschooling continue to grow rapidly worldwide?  The countries with the largest homeschooling movements include: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Creation Ministries International actively encourages homeschooling. See: Parents corner

3. Does school choice increase the quality of education and reduce costs?

4. Are many American teachers reluctant to endorse evolution in class? Will creationist students around the world increasingly challenge evolutionary indoctrination in schools?

Governments buried in debt will turn to more inexpensive schooling options

Governments in the Western World have massive debts plus the private sector in these countries have a lot of debt as well (see: Major economies and total debt to Gross domestic product - 2011 ). This has recently helped spawn the Eurozone financial crisis.

In the United States reports of school districts reducing the amount of school days from 5 days a week to 4 days a week are occurring. Given the Eurozone crisis this could start happening in Europe too. Obviously, cost cutting measure like these are going to increase the public's dissatisfaction with public school education.

In 1990 in the United States, there was approximately 8.5 times more public schools than private schools. Also, in the United States many public schools are failing. In addition, homeschooling is growing in the United States.

Fox News declared in 2012: "Nationwide, more and more families are choosing to home school their children each year, and the fastest growing segment of the home school movement is African-Americans, experts say. Some 220,000 black children are home-schooled, according to one estimate."

Private school costs are lower than those of public schools.

In 1996 the Cato Institute wrote:
In fact, Education Department figures show that the average private elementary school tuition in America is less than $2,500. The average tuition for all private schools, elementary and secondary, is $3,116, or less than half of the cost per pupil in the average public school, $6,857. A survey of private schools in Indianapolis, Jersey City, San Francisco, and Atlanta shows that there are many options available to families with $3,000 to spend on a child's education. Even more options would no doubt appear if all parents were armed with $3,000 vouchers.
It was reported in 1990-1:
  • Total private school costs per student were 30.1 percent less than public school costs.

  • Private non-elite school costs were estimated to be 42.6 percent less than public school costs
The libertarian thinktank the Cato Institute reported in 2003:
 The most recent figures available from the U.S. Department of Education show that in 2000 the average tuition for private elementary schools nationwide was $3,267. Government figures also indicate that 41 percent of all private elementary and secondary schools -- more than 27,000 nationwide -- charged less than $2,500 for tuition. Less than 21 percent of all private schools charged more than $5,000 per year in tuition. According to these figures, elite and very expensive private schools tend to be the exception in their communities, not the rule.

Many people may think private schools are expensive because the costlier private schools also tend to be the most well known. For example, many in Houston have heard about St. John's or Tenney High School, where tuition runs over $13,000 a year. But fewer Houstonians have likely heard of Southeast Academy, Woodward Acres, or Pecan Street Christian Academy, all of which charge less than $3,000 per year, well below the city's private school average of $4,468.
 According to a news program by John Stossel, Belgium has a school system which funds students to attend primary and secondary schools and they can use those funds to attend any school or their choice whether it be a religious private school, a non-religious private school or a public school.

I would argue that the Western World is increasingly facing increased economic competition from the Eastern World. I believe this will cause education to become more efficient through school choice measures and more online education as well.

Homeschooling is growing in the United States and in the world

According to the UPI Homeschooling is growing in the United States:
U.S. children being home-schooled has steadily increased during recent years and shows no sign of declining, a statistician says.

There was a 74 percent increase in the number of home-school children between 1999 and 2007.

Gail Mulligan of the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics said a variety of reasons led to 1.5 million children being primarily educated in U.S. homes in 2007, USA Today said Monday.
In 2010, it was estimated that about 4% of students were homeschooled and there were about  2 million homeschool students.

Homeschooling is growing worldwide too.

Primary  reasons why Christian and creation friendly material will see big growth in schools

1. Demographic growth of religious population in countries due to higher fertility rates and immigration

2. A continued fast increase in theologically conservative Bible clubs in public schools

3. An increase in anti-evolution and pro-creation laws

4. A large increase in creation evangelism, internet evangelism and other forms of evangelism. 

5. School choice provides superior schools (see: Videos below).

6. Many countries are buried in public and private debt. They will turn to more inexpensive schooling options.

7. Increased global competition will force education to become more efficient and have higher quality.  Countries that fail to do this will fall behind.  This is nothing new. American car manufacturers were forced to increase their efficiency and quality due to foreign competition for example.

For more information, please see: Why religious schools and homeschooling will see big growth

Question Evolution! materials for religious schools and homeschool students

One of the things our Question Evolution! Campaign group is working on is developing educational materials relating to the 15 questions for evolutionists.

We definitely want to inoculate more and more young people BEFORE they are indoctrinated into evolutionary dogma. In short, we want to cut off the air supply to evolutionism, atheism, agnosticism, deism and theologically liberal religion.

Students challenging evolutionary indoctrination in schools

In 2011, a study was published indicating that most United States high school biology teachers are reluctant to endorse the theory of evolution in class.

As we develop more Question Evolution! material for young people such as booklets, books, videos, online courses, classes, etc. we believe that more and more students will challenge evolutionary indoctrination in class - especially if they are encouraged to do so.

Another major flaw found in a survey which claimed global atheism is rising

The data from the most carefully done research supports the claim that global atheism is falling in adherents (see: Global atheism is shrinking).

I previously did two stories on a badly done survey which claimed global atheism recently rose.

The 2 stories were:

1. Is global atheism really on the rise or is it declining? Plus, our agenda for future articles

2. Is global atheism really on the rise or is it declining? - Part II

The survey was NOT done by the prominent American polling organization Gallup Inc., but was done by WiN/Gallup International. Gallup Inc. is presently involved in a legal dispute with Gallup International Association (GIA) over the use of the Gallup name.

Here is another indication the survey was done very badly cited from a Jewish website:
According to Gallup, only 38 percent of Jews describe themselves as religious, while 54 percent are nonreligious and two percent atheist. When compared to the figures for other religions - the various brands of Christianity, as well as Hinduism and Islam, all have double the religious proportion - Jews seem almost irredeemably secular.

This flies in the face of all we have heard for years about the Orthodox Jewish demographic ascendancy and rising levels of religious Jewish belief and practice. That is, until you have a closer look at the data.

The Global Index was conducted as a nation-by-nation survey, based on representative samples of each country's population. Thus the number of Jews in the poll was at best incidental: Nearly 52,000 people worldwide participated, among whom 106 identified themselves as Jewish. That's roughly one in 500, which is more or less the proportion of Jews in the global population.

But no statistician would argue that 106 Jews is a representative sample of a far-flung tribe with some 14 million members. Added to that is the fact that Israel, where 43 percent of the world's Jews live, was not one of the countries included in the survey.

My educated guess says that Israel has a higher proportion of Ultra-Orthodox and Orthodox Jews among their Jewish population than other countries. European Jews are probably more secular than the Israeli Jewish population for example.

It is hard to cry when an evil atheist and evolutionist dies

In the videos below, there is more proof and evidence that it is often hard to cry when an evil atheist and evolutionist dies.

Religious conservatives will not be crying when they pull the plug on the public funding of evolutionism and atheism. Please see: Evolutionists, start thinking the "unthinkable".

Praise God! Global Darwinism and atheism will be crushed like a tin can! Biblical Christianity and creationism has a glorious future!

In a series of recent posts (see: Future of biblical Christianity/atheism/agnosticism/Darwinism), it has been well established that:

1. Global Christianity and creationism is rapidly growing.

2, Global atheism and agnosticism is currently shrinking and will internally collapse and be crushed like a tin can. Western atheism and agnosticism will not be spared from this collapse due to immigration of religious conservatives, Christian evangelism and the higher fertility rate of religious conservatives.And of course, unlike Christianity, atheism and agnosticism have no proof and evidence they are valid worldviews.

3. The future of Darwinism is throughout the world is bleak and religious conservatives won't be sympathetic to funding evolutionary belief.

4. Bible believing Christians, such as the Christians at the Joshua Project, are developing well thought plans to grow global Christianity. Our Question Evolution! Campaign has a plan to disseminate the 15 questions for evolutionists and to engage in internet evangelism. Atheists and agnostics have no plan to reverse their global decline.

5. Christian apologetics is the field of defending Christianity via evidence and via well reasoned arguments. Christians are becoming more interested in Christian apologetics. Atheists have no proof and evidence that atheism is true. People raised atheists have low retention in terms of holding to an atheistic worldview compared to other worldview groups in America.

If you haven't read these articles, we recommend you do so - especially if you are a Christian creationist. You can read them at: Good news for Christian creationists

Atheism, agnosticism and humanism: Godless religions

Religious immigrants will alter the religious landscape of Europe

In 2011, a paper was published entitled The End of Secularization in Europe?:
A Socio-Demographic Perspective.
The authors of the paper were: Eric Kaufmann -
Birkbeck College, University of London; Anne Goujon - World Population Program, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA); Vegard Skirbekk
World Population Program, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).

An excerpt from the paper by Kaufmann, Goujon and Skirbekk can be found below:
Conservative Protestants, a much larger group than the Mormons, also benefit from relatively high fertility. Hout et al. (2001) find that three-quarters of the growth of conservative Protestant denominations against their liberal counterparts is due to
fertility advantage rather than conversion.

In Europe, there has been less attention paid to fertility differences between denominations. However, several studies have discovered that immigrants to Europe tend to be more religious than the host population and — especially if Muslim—tend to retain their religiosity (Van Tubergen 2006). Though some indicators point to modest religious decline toward the host society mean, other trends suggest that immigrants become more, rather than less, religious the longer they reside in the host society (Van Tubergen 2007).  All of which indicates that religious decline may fail at the aggregate level even if it is occurring at the individual level (Kaufmann 2006, 2010). This article thereby investigates the hypothesis that a combination of higher religious fertility, immigration, and slowing rates of religious apostasy will eventually produce a reversal in the decline of the religious population of Western Europe.
In addition, The Birkbeck College, University of London professor Eric Kaufmann using a multitude of demographic studies argues in an academic paper entitled Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth? Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century the decline of atheism in terms of its global adherents is an established trend that will persist for the foreseeable future and the rate of decline will accelerate and affect the Western World. See: Why are the years 2012 and 2020 key years for Christian creationists and pro-lifers?

Bible believing Christianity could conceivably increase their retention rate

Christian apologetics is the field of study which focuses on defending the Christian faith through evidence and sound arguments. In recent times, there is a growing interest in Christian apologetics within Christendom. For example, Ratio Christi is a global movement that equips university students and faculty to give historical, philosophical, and scientific reasons for following Jesus Christ. It is a fairly new organization is spreading on U.S campuses and established a few foreign chapters as well.

In May of 2011, the Christian apologetics organization Stand to Reason wrote:
Ratio Christi, a fairly new apologetics organization that is seeking to change the intellectual atmosphere at universities by bringing Christianity into public, academic discussion. Their goal is to start on-campus apologetics clubs at 500 universities in the next five years. This is where you come in--because it’s also Ratio Christi’s goal to connect each of these clubs with a person who has been trained in apologetics (but who probably has a different day job) to act as chapter director.

Ratio Christi helps each chapter organize one or two campus-wide events a year by connecting them with speakers and debaters like William Lane Craig and Gary Habermas, helping them find the funding, etc. But after the event has come and gone, the lay apologist is still there to lead discussions and interact with the Christians, skeptics, atheists, and seekers who may never have realized that Christianity has a weighty intellectual tradition behind it.
Low retention rates for atheists in America

The Christian Post just published an article titled Study: Atheists Have Lowest 'Retention Rate' Compared to Religious Groups and the article gives two key clues to putting atheism through the meat grinder and speeding up its global decline.

The Christian Post article provides this key information:
Only about 30 percent of those who grow up in an atheist household remain atheists as adults. This "retention rate" was the lowest among the 20 separate categories in the study.

"What these findings reflect is that in the U.S. atheists are for the most part 'made' as adults after being raised in another faith. It appears to be much more challenging to raise one's child as an atheist and have them maintain this identity in their life," Dr. Mark Gray wrote at CARA's blog....

Baptists had the highest retention rate of the Protestant Christian categories at 60 percent, followed by Lutheran (59 percent) and Pentecostal (50 percent).
In addition, according to recent research by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, in the United States, a majority of those surveyed who were raised in atheist/agnostic households, or where there was no specific religious attachment, later chose to join a religious faith (see: Defectors to faith mark a growing trend and Faith in Flux Changes in Religious Affiliation in the U.S.).

Also, in communist China, Christianity is experiencing dramatic growth which could reduce the world atheist population dramatically. See: China: World's largest atheist population about to see a big decline

Plus, Christianity is on the upswing in atheistic Japan - especially among the youth (see: Christianity on the upswing in Japan).
