0.0% of Icelanders 25 years or younger believe God created the world
- gus_massa 11y agoAs other user said in another thread, polls are very sensitive to the exact redaction of the questions, so take this with a grain of salt. The article has too few details: Was it an online poll, a telephone pool or a street poll? The data are in http://sidmennt.is/wp-content/uploads/Lífsskoðanir-Íslendinga-Siðmennt.pdf http://sidmennt.is/wp-content/uploads/Lífsskoðanir-Íslending... (linked in the article). I don't read Icelandic, but with some help of Google translator I found that the numbers are in the page 16. It says that of the persons with less than 25 years old: Valid answers: 102 * world was created in the Big Bang (Big Bang): 93,9% * God created the world: 0,0% * do not know / I have no opinion: 3,0% * other:3% It means that 0 out of 102 persons answered that don't believe that God created the word. The title with "0.0%" is misleading because it looks like less than 1 in 1000. (My friends with more statistical background would ever ask for more samples to be happy to write a 0.0%.)
- fasteo 11y agoA 0.0% result in a survey is a clear indication of a poor poll design.
- greenpizza13 11y agoI also read that a lot of Icelanders subscribe to the idea that God kicked off the Big Bang, so the 93% there does contain theists. Iceland has a relatively low population (~300,000) with the highest internet adoption rate per capita in the world. I wonder if it would be very hard to just poll them all.
