Creating a category for all religions who believe in creationism
I've been trying to get the ball rolling on creating a category for all religions that believe in creationism. This would, of course, include for example the seventh day adventists. Please contribute to this discussion here | Would_there_be_a_way_of_categorising_religions_which_believe_in_creationism and if you are able, help bring this about. Thank you.

I would agree to this. The chart states that 8% of Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in evolution, which basically contradicts what they stand for. You cannot be a Jehovah’s Witness and at the same time accept evolution. See discussion “Jehovah’s Witnesses.” Wisdom In Understanding (talk) 07:30, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Jehovah’s Witnesses
The chart states that 8% of Jehovah’s Witnesses accept evolution. The reference that is used to create the chart doesn’t even mention Jehovah’s Witnesses. Central to Jehovah’s Witnesses belief system is that the first man Adam, along with his wife Eve, both created by God, rebelled against God and in doing so alienated themselves and their future offspring from God’s universal family. In doing so they became imperfect and subject to death. To counteract this situation, God provided his only begotten son to come to earth as a human and through his sacrificial death, provide a ransom that would eventually restore humans to perfection along with associated blessings including eternal life (not immortality) on an earth restored to paradise conditions. Thus no one can claim to be a Jehovah’s Witness whilst at the same time believing in evolution which they claim is a pseudo scientific theory with no foundation. All the above information is readily available at jw.org. To claim that 8% of Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in evolution is the same as claiming that 8% of scientists believe that the earth is at the centre of the solar system with the sun and planets orbiting. Clearly ridiculous. I would advise that the chart reference to Jehovah’s Witnesses be removed as it amounts to what they would view as libel. Wisdom In Understanding (talk) 07:27, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The reference VERY CLEARLY mentions Jehovah’s Witnesses. Your removal of content is disruptive, please stop. Theroadislong (talk) 08:35, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
