Treat the first option as yes.
Treat the third option as "I believe that religion influenced evolution". I'm just not wide awake this morning.

I do quite very much. I think that the evidence found by scientists (like the skeletons and such left behind) is good enough for me to believe.

Do you believe or do you not? I'd very much like to hear your opinions and such for either backing up your belief in this theory or in it's disbelief.

Science supports evolution. Scared people support Creation.

I accept that evolution is currently the best explanation (by far) we have for the origins of species, including humans, based on the evidence available.

I don't 'believe' it, though, in the sense that members of a religion 'belive' their religion. I take nothing on faith.

Scared their religion will lose more ground.

That is a sign of the end times for them. That isn't necessarily a bad thing at all. When their religion is back to being persecuted fully like during the throw them to the lions Roman times, then they will think the earth is basically ending. The rapture is supposed to be a glorious way of going, even though it isn't fully Biblical. That should be nothing worth fearing, actually Christians shouldn't fear that at all. Persecution should be expected.

Well, that's certainly self-explanatory.

God may have used evolution to create everything. No reason He had to.

I think darwinization is very real phenomenon. More power to it.

We are undoubtedly evolved entities. The genetic language for humans is the same for every other discovered organism on this planet. Long stretches of arbitrary DNA are the same in bacteria as they are in humans. This is true for every organism on this planet. That means we're all descended from a common ancestor.

As a side point, there's something wrong with this poll.
