Australian university students have thrown out the childish magical creationism fantasy.

Anyone who thinks the Magic Man magically created human apes or thinks a god fairy had anything to do with our existence, is just plain fucking stupid.

Fewer Australian university students than ever before believe in creationism

August 21, 2018

Australian university students appear to give far more credit to the science of human evolution and far less to creationism or divine guidance than the previous generation. This is according to our 32-year-long annual survey of first-year biology students at UNSW in Sydney.

Belief among students that God is the ultimate or contributing cause of human origins has steeply declined. It was a majority view in 1986, and now a minority view in 2017. Conversely, the belief that humans evolved without divine involvement of any kind rose steeply over the same period to become the dominant view.

Reasons for these significant changes over time may include increasing access to the web, increasing scientific evidence for evolution, and/or growing scepticism about claims for supernatural miracles of any kind.
