The more educated someone is the less likely they are to be a creationist.

If that is the case, then please define "educated."

Also, while you're at it, "creationist."

I bet we don't agree about either.

No hard feelings.... wishing you well!

Educated in this context means that the educational level they have attained. I.E. A High school drop out is less educated than a person with a graduate degree.

A Creationist is someone who believes all basic forms of life were created nearly contemporaneously by miraculous means and reject the theory of evolution through natural selection of genetic variation.

The less educated someone is the more likely they are to be a creationist.

“it seems few paleontologists are Darwinists” betty boop

Please define “few”.

Also, while you are at it, “Paleontologists”.

I bet we don’t agree about either.

Because you have no idea what you are talking about.

The Paleontological Society Position Statement: Evolution
Evolution is both a scientific fact and a scientific theory. Evolution is a fact in the sense that life has changed through time. In nature today, the characteristics of species are changing, and new species are arising. The fossil record is the primary factual evidence for evolution in times past, and evolution is well documented by further evidence from other scientific disciplines, including comparative anatomy, biogeography, genetics, molecular biology, and studies of viral and bacterial diseases. Evolution is also a theory – an explanation for the observed changes in life through Earth history that has been tested numerous times and repeatedly confirmed. Evolution is an elegant theory that explains the history of life through geologic time; the diversity of living organisms, including their genetic, molecular, and physical similarities and differences; and the geographic distribution of organisms. Evolutionary principles are the foundation of all basic and applied biology and paleontology, from biodiversity studies to studies on the control of emerging diseases.

Because evolution is fundamental to understanding both living and extinct organisms, it must be taught in public school science classes. In contrast, creationism is religion rather than science, as ruled by the Supreme Court, because it invokes supernatural explanations that cannot be tested. Consequently, creationism in any form (including “scientific creationism,” “creation science,” and “intelligent design”) must be excluded from public school science classes. Because science involves testing hypotheses, scientific explanations are restricted to natural causes.
