True, though creationism really isn't high on the agenda in many other major religions.

Young Earth Creationism came out of fundamentalist Christianity around the turn of the 20th century. That explains some of the numbers here.
There are very few people who are not Christian fundamentalists who believe in Young Earth Creationism.

Evolution is not a theory. The theory of evolution is a theory (and no, that's not what "theory" means).

bingotown
I don't know - it seems pretty well proven to me. I get a flu shot every year because of it.
My point is simply since it is a theory, there is tons and tons of evidence but it is still a theory, not a law
It is a theory. The evidence is all there but the other (wrong) side has made up things to explain it away that more easily follow K.I.S.S.
DilemmaLlama
Hispanics include those of any race? Really?

Yes. Hispanic only refers to natl origin, not race. Martin Sheen (White) and Sammy Sosa (Black) are both Hispanic.
I knew that about Martin Sheen, initially because of the name change, but not Sammy Sosa. Interesting!
