Almost 1 out of every 5 (18%) of Americans reject evolution & think humans have always existed in our current form:
For Darwin Day, 6 facts about the evolution debate | Pew Research Center
For the US adult population, that's close to 50 million people!
I'm sure there are plenty of people like that in the world. People get in their insulated zones and believe all kinds of crazy things.
I just meant to say that on this forum, I don't think we've had any creationists for a while now.
Years ago Amazon had discussion forums, and the religion section was particularly active. There was a wide variety of people who posted there, including creationists. The evolution/creation thread was always active.
The most articulate and well-informed guy who argued consistently against the creationists was a Presbyterian nuclear scientist. He really knew his stuff.
