Fact of the Day

No Icelanders under the age of 25 believe the creation story that God was responsible for creating the universe, a new poll claims.

The poll, commissioned by the Icelandic Ethical Humanist Association, claims that 93.9 per cent in the under 25 category responded that the universe was created by the Big Bang. Just over 6 per cent responded with ‘don’t know’ or ‘other’. None of the respondents, however, believed that the universe had been created by God.
